Pinot Noir - Ournac Brothers - 2022

A high-flying, low-intervention Pinot Noir: Hand-picked, whole bunch and foot-crushing of the grapes. Spontaneous fermentation (native yeasts) in whole grapes in small open vats, punching down and gentle infusion. Malolactic fermentation in barrels. Éaging for 10 months in François Frères barrels. Light sulphiting during bottling (sulphites <20mg/L). Vintage 2022: Soft garnet color, a fresh nose, a mixture of spices, strawberry, and kirsch. Full mouth with very supple tannins, a beautiful texture, cherry, delicately toasted and a finish with menthol notes. It is a fine wine of surprising complexity.
