Perfumed Pinot Noir: bright cherry and wild strawberry, brambly blackberry, rose and baking spice, subtle forest floor/mineral note. Silky, finely grained tannins, lively acidity and a long, refreshing finish.

Production Method
Hand-harvested fruit; significant whole-cluster fermentation (commonly ~60% for village wines in 2020); native yeast ferments, gentle extraction; 12–14 months in French oak with limited new oak; minimal fining and low SO2.
