The 2022 Pinot Noir Réserve is from various types of soils but mostly granite. It opens with a very aromatic and fruity nose of perfectly ripe cherries intermingled with tart spices. Macerated for just a little bit more than a week and aged in old foudres, this is an elegant and spicy, fresh and stimulating Pinot with sour cherry aromas on the tart and finely grippy finish. 13% alcohol. Granulate cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Réserve is 100% destemmed. The color is surprisingly dark, with a vivid nose of ripe black cherry. The palate is equally full-fruited and comes with a dense web of tannins, still slightly drying but sitting well with the generosity of fruit. Beautiful tension is captured with freshness, which, along with the tannins, will stand this in good stead. Wait for it. This shows the same balance as always but in a riper register. (Bone-dry)
