2021 Domaine Altugnac Pinot Noir Les Turitelles, IGP Pays d'Oc

From: Limoux, Languedoc, FranceVarietal: Pinot Noir Taste: Taste: The Domaine Altugnac Pinot Noir is 100% Pinot Noir from almost all hand-harvestd fruit. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and varietal character of the wine. Even though the wines come from a warm region, Jean-Luc and Chrisitian do an exceptional job of retaining acidity, tension and vibrancy in this Pinot. Light ruby in color with fresh red berry fruit flavors, well-integrated spice (nutmeg and cinnamon) notes, a hint of mocha, soft and silky tannins all wrapped up in a mineral core that lead to a lifted finish, this Languedoc wine will make you rethink Pinot from this part of France. If you like Pinot Noir from Chitry (north end of Burgundy) or light-bodied Willamette Valley Pinot’s, you’ll be extremely happy with this wine and the 2021 vintage. Pairing: Pair with meaty fish such as tuna or swordfish, poultry such as turkey, goose, or duck, a pumpkin soup, stuffed pepper
