Haut-Blanville Grande Réserve Pinot Noir 2018
Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceThe vines are planted in the limestone and basalt (volcanic) soils of Pézenas at 100-150m, on a cool, north-facing single vineyard. Soft plum, black raspberry, light forest, moss, and cocoa powder fill the cushy palate, finishing with light tobacco and smoke. Tannins are nubby fine, and acidity is bright and lively thanks to time solely in stainless. Very good value for a varietally correct, honest French pinot noir.Tasted: 20 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $18.95 | 750ml | consignment |
