Burgundy may be its spiritual home, but Le Grand Noir decided to take a different route, planting the variety in the high-altitude vineyards of Southern France. The result is a distinctly modern Pinot Noir: juicy, bright and immediately enjoyable, with the cherry and raspberry character we look for in the grape, but with a warmer Mediterranean personality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes come from a selection of vineyards across the Languedoc, ranging from around 200 to 400 metres in altitude. Rather than relying on a single vineyard, Le Grand Noir brings together different soils, elevations and microclimates to find the balance Pinot Noir needs in this part of France. Night harvesting helps preserve freshness, while a small proportion of the wine sees oak to add a little extra texture and spice without overwhelming the fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a Pinot that sits somewhere between classic French elegance and the generous fruitiness that makes New World Pinot Noir so approachable. It is full of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, with a refreshing peppery note and gentle structure. For Pinot Noir drinkers in Ireland looking for something a little different from the usual Burgundy, New Zealand or Chilean bottles, this is a very easy place to start.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we love it:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is Pinot Noir in a particularly friendly and uncomplicated style: juicy red fruit, soft texture and enough freshness to keep it lively. It has the delicacy and charm expected from Pinot without becoming overly serious, making it equally appealing with food or simply poured slightly chilled on its own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Grand Noir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54918003556698,"sku":"3378632920223","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/1745\/4426\/files\/Le_Grand_Noir_Pinot_Noir.webp?v=1793739864","url":"https:\/\/vpmerchants.com\/products\/le-grand-noir-pinot-noir","provider":"VP Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
