Tasting notes
Pure crimson visual in the glass, with blackberry, cranberry & cinnamon on the nose. Bright red cherry mid-palate impression leads to ripe tannins framing a moderate-length finish.
Enjoy with Rack of Lamb with Cranberry Wine Sauce.

2022 Pinot Noir La Chenaie
The 2022 growing season endured a bumpy start. A very cool, wet April & May delayed the growing season. Flowering happened 2-4 weeks later than usual, good conditions led to a robust fruit set for those shoots that survived the frost. The summer was moderately warm, then a very warm September & October saved the day. We picked the Pinot Noir by hand, destemmed 100%, and fermented in small lots with hand punch downs. After gentle pressing, we aged it 18 months in French oak, 8% new.
