Our ongoing search for affordable and tasty Pinot Noir continues…and occasionally succeeds! Not for us the industrial, pedestrian and sometimes crude Pinots that grace the market at this price, so it’s always exciting to find gems like this.
The Dupond family has been on a mission to produce well-crafted, honest wines for working men and women for over a century, sourcing fruit from meticulous growers that the Duponds have trusted
for generations. Making such a delicious, unpretentious wine like this requires attention to detail rarely found at this price point. The work pays off however; vintage after vintage the wines are fresh and delightful.
This 2020 vintage was sourced from old vines in the Macon, Corsica and Alsace, the final blend conducted by the former wine director of Daniel (Boulud) restaurant in New York. Not too shabby a provenance for such a bottle. The nose is classic Pinot Noir; cassis, red cherry, cola and hints of cedar. The palate is silky, showing ample red fruits and well-rounded
tannins.
Enjoy this with braised meats, grilled sausages, your soft, pungent cheese of choice or a rosemary/garlic-anointed spatchcocked chicken
