Les Argelières Pinot Noir, 2021, Languedoc-Roussillon
Made to our exacting specifications, Les Argelieres is a unique range of modern, fruity varietal wines from the Languedoc, made with the aim of showing the elegance, subtlety and perfect varietal 'signature' of each grape variety as planted in the warmth of Southern France. Grown on cooler hill sites and with a limited yield to show the riper, richer fruit characters of Pinot Noir, this isa soft, fruity red with a silky palate.
Tasting Notes:
Glossy garnet red in the glass, on the nose there are aromas of raspberry and cherry with subtle smoky and peppery hints, Fruity, elegant and well-balanced on the palate with a silky long finish.
Specification
Vinification
Optimal ripe grapes are essential for a good Pinot Noir. The full aromatic potential has already been developed, but the sugar content should be relatively low in order to preserve the variety's elegant style. For that, a part of the crop is harvested quite early and ferments at low temperature exalting fruity aromas. The other part, fully ripe, undergoes a traditional, long maceration. About one third ages in French oak barrels for many months adding a lot of complexity to the wine.
