2022 Pierre Antonin Carcassonne Pinot Noir

The 2023 Pierre & Antonin Carcassonne Pinot is a fresh and approachable red that exemplifies the duo’s philosophy of accessible, responsibly produced wines. Made entirely from Pinot Noir grown on the medieval terroirs of Carcassonne, it offers both charm and drinkability with a balance of freshness and structure.

This wine stands out for its juicy, gourmand character and vibrant tension, making it an ideal choice for everyday enjoyment or casual gatherings. Early morning hand-harvested grapes, careful destemming, and optimal ripeness ensure a clean, expressive fruit profile. Eight months in concrete vats preserve purity and freshness, while regular bâtonnage enhances texture and complexity without overshadowing the fruit.

Non-vegetarian pairings include charcuterie, grilled poultry, or pork dishes, where the wine’s fresh acidity and velvety tannins enhance flavour and mouthfeel.

Tasting Note:
