2024 Domaine Jean Perrier et Fils, Pinot Noir, Cuvée Gastronomie, Savoie

A lifted, silky Pinot Noir shaped by Alpine freshness.

Tasting Notes

Light and fruity, this wine is an intense orange-red colour. A delicate nose exuding aromas of red and black berries and a ripe cherry core. This red is well balanced, with lively acidity and delicate and spicy tannins. Its soft texture precedes a fairly lengthy finish.

Producer

‘Traditional’ hardly describes the Perrier family, who have lived and worked in the Alps for more than seven generations and seem to be hewn from the very rock that surrounds them.

Their wine style and dedication to local grape varieties such as Jacquère has never wavered and like the region’s mountains remains resolute. All the better for it – these wines are stunningly different and enthralling, with flavours on the palate that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Embodying their terroir and being resistant to change has made these wines special, delightful and truly regional.

Production Method

Planted on clay limestone soils in a vineyard consisting of small plots mainly on an East / West exposure, North of Lac du Bourget, in Jongieux, Chautagne and Combe de Savoie. Manually harvested.

After a gentle pneumatic pressing, vinification is in stainless steel vats there is a malolactic fermentation, and then ageing in stainless steel tanks for 4 months then bottling.
