DESCRIPTION: The Pinot Noir is the true essence of our Portland limestone terroir from the Jurassic Period. We believe in natural crop covers and organic nutrients to keep a naturally balanced fauna and flora and to encourage indigenous life, thus providing our 32-year-old vines with the best possible habitat.
TASTING NOTES: Attractive salmon pink. A nose which offers gentle notes of red fruits and orange flesh. Fleshy, crunchy, fruit-driven on the first sip, lively mid-palate. Crisp character, light, refreshing and complex flavors, long finish. Wonderful rendition of the appellation. The 2015 vintage reached full ripeness and is exceptional. Production: 4,500 bottles.
FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS: Serve alone as an aperitif, with goat cheese or with dishes like shellfish and fish.
PRESS & AWARDS: VINTAGE 2017 (Wine Enthusiast 91), VINTAGE 2016 (Wine Enthusiast 90).
HISTORY: The Vattan family owns the domain which was founded in 1930. In 2008, Pascal Joulin took over the estate. The 7.8 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and 1.3 hectare of Pinot Noir are divided between two main types of terroir, limestone and clay, which benefit from southern and northwestern exposure respectively, and are typical of Maimbray’s hillsides.
