Clos De La Perrière Rouge

2011 Fixin Pinot Noir

Joseph Drouhin Clos De La Perrière Rouge is a splendid example of Fixin's elegant Pinot Noir, showcasing a deep red hue that entices the eye. This wine embodies a medium body, offering a delightful balance that harmonizes beautifully with its vibrant acidity, creating an inviting mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, with ripe cherry and blackberry notes taking center stage, complemented by subtle earthy undertones typical of the region. Tannins are well-structured yet soft, providing a graceful backbone that enhances the overall experience. As a dry wine, it invites exploration, making it an exceptional companion to roasted poultry or rich mushroom dishes. Perfectly crafted, this 2011 vintage exemplifies the terroir of Fixin and the artistry of Joseph Drouhin.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
