Raymond Barlet et Fils, Pinot Noir "La Cave du Prieuré", Savoie, France 2019
{sustainable} 100% Pinot Noir
BLACK CHERRIES, FRESH BERRIES, MOUNTAIN HERBS
Famous for skiing, raclette and minerally whites, the Alpine mountain climate of Savoie is also well suited to elegant reds like Pinot Noir. For six generations the Barlet family has worked their vines by hand on these steep slopes. Made with semi-carbonic maceration to accentuate the fresh flavors, their unoaked, medium-weight Pinot is as enjoyable as you’ll find at this price in France. Less than 1,000 cases made… meaning we own about 1% of this wines entire production!
Serving Suggestion: So versatile! Elegant enough to pare w/ seared duck breast in a red- wine sauce, fun enough to serve lightly chilled w/ a cheese board at a spring picnic.
