Les Jamelles Pinot Noir 2006
Region: France-Vin de Pays d'Oc
Winery: Les Jamelles
Variety: Pinot Noir
Producer's notes:
Cold pre-fermentation maceration lasting about a week, followed by one week's fermentation at controlled temperatures. 25% of the final blend is aged in oak barrels for 6 to 9 months.
Appearance: Dark colour, with ruby tints.
Nose: Scents of red and black berries mixed with floral notes, together with hints of delicate wood and vanilla.
Taste: On the palate, this wine is complex, rich, long and fat. It displays aromas of crushed black fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants, cherries) and jam. The tannins are plump and well-integrated.
Unlike many Pinot Noirs grown in the Pays d'Oc, this wine is not dominated by heaviness or an excessive over-ripeness.
This wine goes well with charcuteries, white meat (such as chicken with a cream sauce) and light cheeses.
