Elegance 43.06 Nord Pinot Noir 2024 is a red IGP Pays d'Oc from the Languedoc, made from 100% Pinot Noir grown on chalky clay and limestone soils. Before fermentation the grapes undergo a cold maceration, which helps capture fruit and colour, and the wine goes through malolactic fermentation. It then matures for six to twelve months. The colour is ruby red. The nose shows blackcurrant and black cherry, with a lightly toasted touch.
On the palate the wine is supple and soft, with a discreet oak influence that supports the ripe fruit without dominating it. The acidity keeps the wine juicy and the tannins are fine and round. The finish is medium-long and fruity. An approachable, sunny Pinot Noir from the south of France, best served lightly chilled at 16-18 °C.
Delicious with roast chicken or guinea fowl, duck breast, grilled salmon or tuna, and pasta with mushrooms.
