Vendange Savoie Pinot Noir

Domaine Vendange is a family run winery operated by Benjamin Vendange and Diane Gounel. Benjamin, who studied oenology and viticulture in Beaune before returning to Savoie in 2015, comes from a family that runs one of the largest vine nurseries in the region. Together with his partner Diane, an oenologist from Languedoc-Roussillon, Benjamin decided to start an estate with the familys holdings. All of the couple’s 10 hectares of vineyards are planted to glacial till / limestone scree soils with southern exposures. Their approach to vinification is to intervene as little as possible, letting the varietal character of their grapes shine through.

Enhanced from the very beginning by harmonious woody notes, the nose delivers an elegant expression that combines floral and spicy aromas: fresh wood, vanilla, mocha, juicy cherry, plum liqueur, sweet briar, Szechuan pepper, gunflint. Wonderful mouthfeel and beautiful balance. Tannins are silky, the structure is supple and there is excellent aromatic intensity and appealing minerality.
