Saint Eucher - 2016 - Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir, like Chardonnay, is a grape variety native to the Burgundy and Champagne regions (Côtes de Nuit).
Contrary to Chardonnay, it has been relatively little exported to the so-called "New World" regions.
The terroir of Saint Honorat Island is suitable for producing Pinot Noir of fine quality.

Tasting notes Made by fr Marie, cellar master
Vintage 2016, tasted in September 2017, brut from barrels and vats, en primeur wines

A delicate crimson colour with ruby reflections adorns this vintage. The first nose is dazzling. Intense aromas of redcurrant, cherry and green pepper. On the palate, this fine beverage reveals a delight of fleshy fruits, the silky tannins of the racy Pinot Noir and unique matured under the Mediterranean sun, a tribute to the distant Burgundian hillsides sublimated by the Cistercian monks.
