Tasting Notes
The wines from Pays d`Oc around Carcassonne in Southern France originate from a unique terroir which has been long used in wine production since the Romans inhabited the area. Lorgerils focus for this elegant wine was to preserve fruit without any oak influence as to not take away from the fresh qualities of Pinot Noir. Intense aromas on the nose, red cherries, raspberries, violets and blackcurrant leaf. A supple palate with a spicy pepper note, smooth tannins, a restrained acidity and a long, fresh finish.
Food
Serve with roast chicken, turkey or charcuterie.
