Coudoulet Pinot Noir 2020

definition

Class wines for very modest prices. That is what Domaine Coudoulet is known for. Their Pinot Noir is a wonderful example of this. Where in previous years this wine had always had a distinctly Mediterranean character, namely ripe, round and with a lot of color, the signature of Camille Ournac can now be tasted.

The wine is lighter and more elegant than before and is more reminiscent of a beautiful German Spätburgunder than a Languedoc-Pinot. That is not entirely surprising. Not only is Camille a huge fan of the pinot noir grape, he also studied in Dijon, located in the world's premier pinot noir region, Burgundy.


Here he learned typical Burgundy winemaking techniques, such as cold soaking of the skins, which he now also applies at home. The results are impressive. A wonderfully juicy, fruity, slightly spicy red wine that goes well when slightly chilled as an aperitif or with light meat dishes. This is southern French ripeness with Burgundian elegance. Cheers!
