Les Mignottes

2012 Champagne Pinot Noir

The Pierre Paillard Les Mignottes is a captivating expression of Pinot Noir from the esteemed Champagne region, showcasing the remarkable characteristics of its terroir. This red wine enchants the senses with its lovely ruby hue, hinting at the depth and complexity within. Its body leans toward medium, offering a pleasing weight on the palate without overwhelming the senses. Acidity is bright and lively, adding a refreshing dimension that complements its fruit intensity, which is prominent with notes of red cherries and raspberries intertwined with subtle undertones of spice. Tannins in this wine are notable yet well-integrated, providing a solid backbone that enhances the overall structure. The finish is dry, leaving a lasting impression that encourages a second sip. This exquisite 2012 vintage captures the elegance and finesse typical of the finest Pinot Noir, making it a delightful choice for special occasions or a cozy evening at home.

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.
