Winemaking Crafted in the sun-drenched south of France, this Pinot Noir comes from mature vines that deliver concentration and balance. Grapes are harvested early in the day to retain freshness, then gently destemmed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity. A short period of ageing on fine lees adds body and silkiness, while a portion undergoes gentle oak maturation to enhance texture and aromatic depth.
Bouquet Delicately perfumed with bright red cherry, wild strawberry, and a touch of raspberry. Subtle notes of dried herbs, forest floor, and a hint of spice round out the nose, offering a classic old-world profile with a modern lift.
Palate Smooth and light on its feet, this Pinot is all about elegance. Juicy red fruits glide across the palate, supported by soft tannins and a whisper of oak. A touch of savouriness adds dimension, while fresh acidity gives it energy and food-friendliness. Balanced, charming, and easy to love.
Food Pairing Lovely with herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, or a goat cheese tart. For something French-inspired, try it with duck confit or ratatouille.
Cellaring Best enjoyed young while the fruit is vibrant, but will hold beautifully for 3–4 years.
Interesting Fact The name Le Grande Colombe – “The Great Dove” – symbolises peace and harmony, a fitting emblem for this elegant Pinot Noir crafted with care from old vines that have stood the test of time.
