2024 Montsable Pinot Noir Languedoc

These wines are authentically crafted, small-batch wines of the wilds. Montsablé Réserve represents the pinnacle of site selection within the Haute Vallée de l’Aude, the coolest of all the Mediterranean regions of France due to altitude and influence of the cool Atlantic wind, the Vent Cers. Altitude, climate and limestone rich soils combine to produce outstanding fruit, with which we create wines of elegance and freshness.

Burgundian methods are used for the vinification with a gentle extraction by punch-down of the cap. Low temperature vatting (24°C) to preserve the fragile and subtle notes of the Pinot Noir. The wine is barrel aged in a selection of barrels (aged for 6 months in French new oak, 1, 2 and 3 yr old) before blending to produce a Pinot Noir of class, texture and weight.

Tasting Note: Bursting with the enticing aromas of dark cherry and blackberry, this wine delights the senses with a smooth, rounded palate of ripe red berry fruits. Subtle notes of toasty vanilla add depth and warmth, while a hint of spice lingers beautifully on the finish – a perfectly balanced expression of richness and elegance.

Food match: Beautiful drinking on its own or with game, robust fish or slow cooked stew.
