Tasting Notes
The Pinot Noir Nature 2020 from Domaine de Ricardelle de Lautrec has a beautiful vivid, light ruby red.
On the nose is very floral with rose petals but also small red berries. There is also something mediterranean to it, dried tomatoes perhaps.
The mouthfeel is smooth yet fresh with a nice integrated acidity.
On the palate it’s juicy and dangerously dinkable.
Finish is medium long with a smokey note and a touch of tobacco leaf.

Domaine Ricardelle de Lautrec
Domaine Ricardelle de Lautrec is located in the Languedoc wine region of France. It’s not at all far from the sea and a stone’s throw from the border with Spain.
Domaine Ricardelle de Lautrec went organic twenty years ago, one of the pioneer estates in the region. It has also recently started to vinify natural wines with no added sulphites. The decision came from Lionel, the estate owner. Being Lionel sensitive to sulphites himself, he decided to experiment making wine without any amount added.
The test was successful and that’s how the estate started making natural wines for its client as well as for the family’s consumption!

Pinot noir
Red wine grape variety
Pinot noir is a type of red wine grape that belongs to the Vitis vinifera genus. It’s also probable that the name refers to wines produced mainly from Pinot noir grapes. The name comes from the words “pine” and “black” in French. The name pine refers to the grape variety’s tightly clustered, pine cone-shaped fruit bunches.
