Pinot noir is a grape variety with small, tight berries, sweet, colorless juice and early ripening, which is particularly suited to calcareous soils and a temperate climate. Unstable and fragile, it can oxidize quickly and requires a lot of attention. Its main characteristic remains its supple and silky texture, with elegant and fine tannins, and its morello cherry aroma. Vinified pure most of the time, it is sufficient in itself.
