Marchand & Burch Villages Pinot Noir (6 per case)


 

This wine is part of the Marchand & Burch Australian collection. It is a vibrant young middle weight wine that has all the potential to evolve and integrate into a fine Pinot Noir over time. Enjoy its youth and exuberance or cellar for further pleasures and insights.

TASTING NOTES

Bright, translucent ruby in the glass, this elegant and energetic Pinot Noir shines due to elevated floral and red fruited notes. Savoury earthy and spicy tones mingle with red cherry, raspberry, rosemary, hibiscus, vanilla, and potpourri on the nose. Soft, silky tannins gather towards the front of the palate giving way to a smooth texture and rich fruited mid-palate. A lively, lingering acidity points to this wine’s cool climate origin. Impressions of red berries and floral tones remain on the palate forming a pleasant and dry finish.

WINE MAKING

All batches are handpicked and cooled in vented crates beforehand sorting and destemming to small rectangular open fermenters. Approximately 15 to 20% of whole bunches are included in the fermentation. Gentle pneumatic plunging throughout the fermentation allows for optimum extraction of flavour, colour and tannin. One puncheon per fermenter is run off at 4º baume to complete the fermentation in new oak. Between dryness and 7 days of maceration each batch is basket pressed to French oak puncheons (500lt) ~ 40% is new. The separate parcels are matured on lees, in the oak for 6 to 9 months before settling in tank. After blending, the wine receives minimal fining and no filtration before bottling.
