2019 Coudoulet Pinot Noir

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

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



Here he learned typical Burgundy wine making techniques, such as cold peeling, which he now also uses at home. The results are impressive. A wonderfully juicy, fruity, slightly spicy red wine, which is slightly chilled as an aperitif or with light meat dishes. This is southern French maturity with Burgundian elegance. Chapeau!
