Pinot Noir Lovers Trio

A world tour of Pinot Noir for those who can't get enough of the grape, spanning three continents and three distinct styles. From the energetic, vineyard-driven fruit of Oregon's Willamette Valley to the savoury complexity of Marlborough's organic single vineyards and the refined precision of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, this trio captures Pinot Noir's remarkable range. Vincent Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2024 A snapshot of the Willamette Valley from winemaker Vincent Fritzsche, blending fruit and barrel selections from across the vineyards he works with. Juicy red cherry, raspberry and plum lead, supported by spice, violet and crushed herbs, with fresh acidity and fine tannins giving a clean, energetic, moreish finish. Settlement Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 From Marlborough's top organic single vineyards, this Burgundian-style Pinot Noir shows real elegance and complexity. An aromatic, savoury nose of damson plum, dark berry and forest floor leads into a medium-bodied palate with plush fruit and layered, structured tannins. Domaine Philippe Naddef Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 From two carefully selected plots in Fixin and Couchey on Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, this hand-picked, indigenous-yeast-fermented Pinot Noir spends 18 months in barrel. Beautifully balanced, structured and refined, with hints of spice and the freshness that defines all of Naddef's wines.
