Maison Crochet | Pinot Noir | $38.48 x 12 bottles
A new release we're excited to welcome from Wilfried Crochet's cellar, this is another fine example of his talent for producing quality wines at amazing prices. A serious Pinot Noir, it delivers ripe red and dark fruit with a concentration that gives the wine a lush, generous character. Reminiscent of an Alsatian-style Pinot, despite coming from neighbouring Lorraine, it balances its expressive fruit with plenty of freshness and a refreshingly modest 12.5% alcohol. Notes of earth and graphite add depth and complexity, rounding out the fruit beautifully. A fantastic-value Pinot Noir that won't disappoint!
