ABOUT THIS WINE:
Le Temps des Récoltes
Pinot Noir
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection. Explore its full journey from vineyard to bottle here.
Our Pinot Noir showcases the splendor of southern France. An array of fruit flavors greet the palate with definitive oak characteristics amid supple textures and hints of spice. The 2020 growing season got off to a rainy start in the Pays d'Oc, with spring storms trickling into mid-summer. Thanks to this region's famous winds—the Mistral, Autan, Marin and Tramontane—vineyard conditions remained dry until temperatures rose. The hot summer magnified fruit-forward character while clay and limestone soils retained moisture, keeping conditions cool below the vines. Harvest occurred in mid-August for this early-ripening variety, followed by fermentation a ...

WINE REGION:
Pays d'Oc IGP
If you've vacationed in the south of France, you've probably visited the Pays d'Oc region. Embracing the Mediterranean from Spain to Provence, this region is famed as much for its Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as its endless sunshine. Pays d'Oc covers non-AOC wines made across this large, sun-kissed region, known as France's "New World." Far from the regulations of the AOC system, pioneering winemakers headed here to experiment, crafting many now-famous wines that often state their grape variety on the label—not something that was common in France before then. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) within France’s wine classification system focuses on controlling regional and geographical origin. The category is less restrictive than the AOC classification and gives winemakers more freedom with style and taste profile when creating wines.

TASTING NOTES:
Fig
Black Cherry
Baking Spice
A spicy bouquet of vanilla and cinnamon aromas introduce an oak-driven nose. The palate is medium-bodied with soft textures and an earthy nature secondary to fruit. Black cherry, ripe raspberry and fig flavors allude to a warm vintage, while an elegantly balanced finish nods to an Old World style.
