2018 Vinca Minor Pinot Noir

peppery and earthy notes for days mingling with nice fruit

Rarissime wild wine that only appears once in a while – like that globetrotting distant cousin whose whereabouts are always impossible to guess until he pops up at your door one day and you spend the weekend talking non-stop…

Then the wine is put into 500 liters barrels for 12 months aging

NV R. Pouillon & Fils Solera Premier Cru (1997-2017) Extra Brut, Champagne, France Castel Noarna 2018 Vinca Minor Pinot NoirThe idea of this cuve is to erase the influence of vintage and focus solely on terroir. It is 50% each chardonnay and pinot noir and all from Mareuil sur A. Every year, 30% is racked off for secondary fermentation and replaced with 30% new wine. Up until the 2010 vintage was added, the entire Solera was aged in steel; it is now aged in oak uprights and undergoes full malolactic.
