Overview
Pinot Noir Château Bouscassé is produced at the renowned Château Bouscassé estate in the South-West of France. This elegant red wine captures the essence of Burgundian Pinot Noir through meticulous vineyard management, hand-harvesting, and traditional vinification methods.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Fresh red cherries, ripe raspberries, wild strawberries with a hint of forest floor.
- Palate: Silky texture, bright acidity, flavors of cranberry, red plum, and delicate spice.
- Finish: Long and refined, with lingering red fruit and subtle earthy undertones.
Winemaking Process
Grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness and gently sorted before fermentation in small stainless-steel vats. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak barrels (20% new oak) for 8–10 months to add complexity and structure while preserving the purity of fruit.
Food Pairing & Serving
Serve slightly chilled at 14–16°C (57–61°F). This versatile Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with:
- Roasted duck or chicken with mushroom sauce
- Grilled salmon and mildly spiced fish dishes
- Soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese
Decant for 30 minutes to fully open the aromas. Enjoy within 3–5 years for optimal freshness.
