Picardy Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir 2022

A blend of clones and largely sourced from 0.1 hectare high density block. I fell in love with the wines of Picardy with their estate Pinot Noir and that love solidified when I first tasted the Tête De Cuvée many moons ago. I remember the moment vividly because I swooned like a teenager meeting her idol. Weak knees, blushed cheeks and at a loss for words. Today this wine still has that impact on me, except I’ve found my voice these days. Bilberries, Bing cherries at the peak of the season. Fresh juniper, allspice and star anise. Bleeding pomegranate seeds, blackberry leaf and sage. It has the density of Obsidian and the staying power of it too. The flavour continues on and on. A Heliotrope of vanilla like scents with potting soil, granite and raw cocoa. Tannins are silky and the wine’s final tones are amplified by its svelte frame. Drink now and savour for many new moons to come, 6-8 years onwards. This would be a dream beside artisan made Morcilla sausage.
