Tâcherons Pinot Noir is an organic red from Limoux in southwestern France, grown on clay-limestone soils at about 350 m elevation. Hand-harvested and gravity-fed, this wine is vini fied with care: a slow fermentation (3-5 days cold maceration), using a mix of vats inoculated and others with native yeast, and including some whole grapes. Eight months of ageing (80% in stainless steel, 20% in barrels) gives light oak influence without losing brightness. The wine shows a high-toned, juicy character, with ripe cherries, warm spice and subtle stone or herbal tea notes. Silky tannins and a fresh, lively finish make it pleasingly drinkable now, especially with lighter meats, charcuterie or mildly spiced dishes. Show more
