Wine Information

Stéphane Riffault’s Pinot Noir vines are located in La Noue, a terroir with white soils. He has 2.5 hectares of vineyards spread across seven neighboring plots. The vines range in age, from newly planted to almost 100 years old. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and, after a short maceration period, very slowly pneumatically pressed. The juice fermented spontaneously in conical concrete tanks and aged on its lees for 14 months in wooden barrels.

Color

Deep salmon color

Nose

This rosé is an elegant, seductive, fragrant, and delicate Pinot Noir. It is reminiscent of cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and peaches. Added to this are notes of violets, herbs, a touch of wood, and smoke. It feels like holding a fruit cake with crème fraîche in your glass.

Palate

On the palate, “La Noue Rosé” is very entertaining with its blend of deep red and dark berry fruit, power, depth, and elegance. The fine, clearly noticeable tannins are very well integrated into the fruit and are further enhanced by the whole-bunch pressing after maceration. The texture fluctuates between chalky and silky. The wood is already more finely integrated in the 2023 vintage than in the previous vintage and, together with the minerality, acidity, and subtle licorice spice, adds complexity. The finish is long and balanced.
