Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir

Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Willamette Valley

World benchmark for Pinot Noir outside Burgundy: elegant, fine reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, undergrowth, damp earth and sweet spices, silky tannins and acidity preserved by the cool climate. Star grape on volcanic soils (Jory), Burgundian latitude (45°). Also taut Chardonnay in full quality rise, round Pinot Gris and lively Riesling. Oregon's main AVA (240 km between Coast Range and Cascades).

American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.

The word of the wine: Aroma
