Thierry's Notes
Although Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy, it has also found its way in the South of France. A fascinating varietal, the Pinot pushes us to be patient, innovative, and to have the utmost concern for detail. Coupled with the warm Mediterranean climate, this vigilance provides us with three formative aspects of the 2009 vintage--fruit, smooth tannins on the palate and a long, persistent finish.
