Pinot Noir "Pic Noir", Le Chat Huant 2019 (Loire, France)

100% Pinot Noir from an organic vineyard just outside of Cheverny, hand harvested and wild fermented whole cluster with 10 days of Carbonic Maceration, then pressed off to old barrels for a few months before bottling unfiltered with almost no sulfur. This is juicebox for grownups that comes in at just over 11% alcohol with bright fresh red fruit and lipsmacking finish that will make the bottle disappear all too quickly. Treat this like a heavy rosé and serve it with a chill.
