2020 Pinot Noir, Domaine de Valmoissine, Louis Latour
Top up on Louis Latours sumptuous, Burgundian flavour 2020 Valmoissine Pinot Noir for just £13.95 a bottle - before the price rise. And the price will rise. You could say its the downside of having the beautiful old Coteaux du Verdon vineyards that go into Valmoissine: after some 45 years in service, their yields are now diminishing which means that these and hectares elsewhere need replanting. To do this requires massive investment. And given what land prices in Provence have been up to lately (quite literally), it’s investment that must come from somewhere. That somewhere, to some extent, will be in Valmoissine’s pricing.
As this replanting program will be extensive, so are prices set to continue their ascent for the foreseeable. So, we strongly suggest that you invest. That you invest in a few cases today: what we have of the 2020 Valmoissine vintage is all weve got, and therefore represents your last opportunity to capitalise on what is remarkable quality for so remarkably little.
Sourced from the beautifully sunny, southern French Provençal Var region, here is pinot noir bursting ripeness of fruit and a vibrant freshness preserved by the vineyards altitude at 500m above sea level. Fresh, juicy, cherry and raspberry-rich fruit in a pinot thats too easy to drink - and at todays offered price, very easy to buy.
Tasting note:
Ripe red fruits jump from the glass enticing you to a bright cherry-led palate which is round and silky smooth. A delicious pinot with a southern French lift. Terrific value.
Critic's review:
"The vineyards are fairly high here so the heat of the day is tempered by the cool of the night leading to a delightfully accessible, deliciously fresh, raspberry-rich, tannin-light Pinot."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator (previous vintage)
