FEATURES
The 2024 French wine vintage was a challenging one, marked by heavy rain, disease, and low yields, making it one of the smallest harvests since 1945. Despite these difficulties, the grapes that were harvested showed good ripeness and acidity, promising wines with notable freshness and balance. Maison Pinot Noar is the personal project of Arnaud Lopez, a Burgundian winemaker deeply committed to natural winemaking, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges. He meticulously sources organic fruit and employs a non-interventionist approach in the cellar, utilizing native yeasts, no added sulfur, and aging in old oak. The 2024 Algogne Pinot Noir Vin de France is expected to be a delicate wine, with notes of wild berries and dried rose, offering a lighter body and density compared to the 2023 vintage, yet retaining notable depth and expressive character. General tasting notes for 2024 Vin de France Pinot Noir suggest an airy nose of raspberry and cherry with fine spicy notes, and a fresh, balanced, and delicate palate. It may also present a warm embrace of cherry, cranberry, spiced plum, tomato leaf, dried herbs, a hint of floral rosehip, and an attractive earthiness. 【A rare, handcrafted natural wine from a Burgundian winemaker with a strong commitment to organic viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking, offering an expressive and authentic Pinot Noir experience.】
