The 2021 Maison Glandien La Leux is a highly sought-after Pinot Noir, often referred to as a 'cult wine' due to its rarity and the significant interest it garners in the secondary market. Winemaker Tino Kuban, known for his natural and low-interventionist approach, crafts this wine under the Vin de France appellation, even though the grapes are sourced from prime Burgundy vineyards and other regions. Kuban's philosophy involves meticulous viticulture, including organic farming principles, extremely low yields (below 10 hectolitres per hectare), and careful harvesting of whole bunches at optimal ripeness. The vinification process features spontaneous fermentation, minimal use of sulfites, and ageing in used barrels, all contributing to an authentic and expressive wine. On the nose, expect intense red fruit aromas like sour cherries, raspberries, and griotte, complemented by floral notes of rose and pivoine, subtle hints of spice, graphite, and a touch of herbaceousness. The palate is fresh, juicy, and playful, with good acidity and fine, silky tannins. It offers a frank and generous expression of red fruits, liquorice, and a slightly spicy finish, often described as simple yet delicious and fun, with a good grip and a dry, tight finish. This wine embodies balance and restraint, offering an authentic connection to its terroir. 🍴 This versatile red Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast white meats, braised dishes, meaty fish, and red sauce pasta. It's also an excellent match for duck, goose, and other game birds. 🥂 The 2021 La Leux is perfect for informal gatherings or convivial moments, offering an explosive fruit character that can be enjoyed young. Its savoury and classic style makes it a delightful choice for a wide range of occasions. 【Cult wine with extremely low yields and natural winemaking】
