Comtesse Marion Description
This 100% Pinot Noir is an elegant and well-structured expression of the varietal, showcasing a layered and inviting profile. On the nose, it offers aromas of strawberry jam, cassis, and vanilla, accompanied by delicate floral notes of violets and rose petals. The palate is ethereal, with flavors of wild strawberry and red cherries unfolding in sublime harmony. The silky texture and supple, round tannins lend the wine a refined balance, while a lengthy finish keeps it both fresh and memorable. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this Pinot Noir emphasizes purity and vibrancy, making it an effortlessly drinkable yet complex wine.
The vines, over 30 years old, are planted in the rocky volcanic soils near the village of Vias along the Mediterranean coast, where the unique terroir imparts depth and finesse to the wine. The Vic family, fifth-generation winegrowers, craft their wines with a commitment to tradition and sustainability, eschewing pesticides and herbicides and working only with estate-grown fruit. Their property, centered around an ancient chteau built from volcanic black rock, is a mosaic of diverse soils, including sandy clay and riverbed-based topsoils, each adding a distinct character to their wines.
With roots dating back to the 12th century, the estate produces varietal wines that balance richness with mouthwatering freshness. This Pinot Noir is no exception, delivering exceptional quality and authenticity while remaining wallet-friendly. The Vic familys dedication to traditional methods shines through, making this bottling a true gem among French Pinot Noirs.
