Les Mougeottes Pinot Noir

The new generation of winemakers in the South of France are revolutionising everyone’s view of which grapes should be grown were. This Pinot Noir offers insane value – a supercharged Burgundy with soft ripe red fruit and a deliciously soft, fruity style

Fruit for this wine is sourced from the sunny and coastal Languedoc vineyards. The grapes are assembled at the winery from growers under the watchful eye of LGI one of the largest and most consistent cooperatives in the South of France.

Optimal ripe grapes are essential for a good Pinot Noir. The full aromatic potential has already been developed, but the sugar content should be relatively low in order to pre-serve the variety's elegant style. For that, a part of the crop is harvested quite early and ferments at low temperature exalting fruity aromas. The other part, fully ripe, under-goes a traditional, long maceration. About one third ages in French oak barrels for several months adding complexity to the wine.
