J.L. Denois

Pinot Noir Village

The Village cuvée of Denois's Pinot Noir is a blend of several high-elevation plots in Hauts de Magrie in Limoux and Roquetaillade in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude. These Pinot's ripen two weeks longer than those picked for the crémants. A gentle élevage without punch downs and a soft pressing gives a Pinot with gentle tannins and a light oak spice supporting a supple and smooth morello cherry oriented wine perfect for charcuterie, savoury pastries, and a host of mushroom entrees. A delicious crowd pleaser.
