Pinot Noir is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic grape varieties in the world. Originating in Burgundy, it embodies elegance, finesse, and complexity. Its red wines are renowned for their aromatic delicacy and velvety texture on the palate, making it an essential reference in the world of wine.
Appreciated by winemakers but feared for its fragility, this delicate grape variety reflects, like no other, the uniqueness of the terroir and the personality of the estate that cultivates it. Each bottle tells a story: that of a vintage, a soil, and a winemaker's expertise.
A deeply rooted history
The Pinot Noir grape has a long history. Already cultivated during Roman times, it established itself in the Middle Ages thanks to Benedictine and Cistercian monks, who shaped the vineyards of Burgundy. It was they who identified the best climates and contributed to the reputation of Burgundy's great crus.
Its name comes from the shape of its cluster, tight and conical, resembling a pine cone. Over the centuries, it became the king grape of the Côte d'Or, a symbol of prestigious appellations like Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, or Clos de Vougeot.
Pinot Noir in France and internationally
While Burgundy remains its historical cradle, Pinot Noir also thrives in other regions of France. In Alsace, it is the only authorized grape variety for producing red AOP wines: fruity, gourmet, and often lighter than their Burgundian cousins. In Champagne, it plays a central role, especially in the Montagne de Reims and the Aube, where it brings body, intensity, and structure to sparkling cuvées.
Outside of France, this grape variety has traveled and found new terroirs. In Germany, it is known as Spätburgunder and is experiencing a true revival with high-quality wines. In Italy, it becomes Pinot Nero, offering elegant wines in Alto Adige or Lombardy. In the United States, Oregon and California have built part of their reputation on this grape, offering sunny and generous cuvées. Finally, in New Zealand, Chile, and South Africa, it expresses itself with freshness and balance, always true to its reputation as a universal grape variety.
A demanding and fragile grape variety
Pinot Noir is often described as a capricious grape variety. Its vines are susceptible to downy mildew, powdery mildew, and botrytis. Its compact clusters, with thin-skinned, blue-black berries, make it fragile in the face of climatic hazards. However, when cultivated under ideal conditions, it produces wines of incomparable elegance.
It ripens early, allowing it to adapt to cool climates, but it does not tolerate excessive heat well. The best results are obtained on calcareous and clay-limestone soils, where it expresses finesse and verticality.
A unique aromatic palette
On the nose, Pinot Noir is immediately recognizable. When young, it develops intense aromas of cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, or wild strawberry. With time, it evolves towards more complex notes of undergrowth, mushroom, leather, or even truffle.
On the palate, it is distinguished by fine tannins, a silky texture, and a persistent finish. Its relatively light color contrasts with the depth of its aromatic complexity. Few grape varieties are capable of delivering both such finesse and such diversity of expression depending on the climate, vintage, and winemaking.
Wine styles and diversity of expressions
Pinot Noir is extremely versatile. In Burgundy, it produces wines ranging from fruity and approachable reds to grand crus capable of aging for several decades. In Champagne, it structures blends and defines great Blanc de Noirs, powerful and elegant. In Alsace, it offers gourmet and fresh cuvées, perfect for enjoying young.
Elsewhere, it yields sunnier wines (California, Australia) or more taut ones (New Zealand, Germany). Some estates even choose to use it to produce elegant and light rosés, perfect for aperitifs.
Aging potential and food pairings
Pinot Noir has remarkable aging potential. A simple red wine is enjoyed in its early years, but grand crus reach their peak after 15 to 20 years, revealing fascinating tertiary aromas.
In gastronomy, its pairings are numerous. Fruity and approachable versions accompany charcuterie, grilled poultry, and vegetarian dishes. More full-bodied cuvées pair well with game, slow-cooked meats, or strong cheeses. In Champagne, it enhances seafood, oysters, and iodine-rich haute cuisine.
Pinot Noir and natural wines
In the world of natural wines, Pinot Noir holds a prominent place. Its aromatic purity and natural balance make it an ideal grape variety for winemaking without additives. Many estates in Burgundy, Alsace, and the New World produce frank, lively, and luminous cuvées that appeal to a new generation of enthusiasts.
Every bottle of Pinot Noir is an invitation to taste. Whether it comes from Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, or elsewhere, it remains true to its reputation: a noble, delicate grape, and undoubtedly one of the most exciting to discover.

This great organic and natural red Burgundy wine is produced by Frédéric Cossard. Made entirely from Pinot Noir (a Pinot Fin variety), it is produced in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation and comes from the "Les Champs de la Vigne" climate. Its distinctive feature is its terracotta aging, which suits it well.
Vinification
The vines grow on a clay-limestone plot and are around sixty years old. They are made from Pinot Fin grapes, an old strain of Pinot Noir that is increasingly rare in Burgundy. The harvest macerates in whole bunches and the wine is aged in qvevri (Georgian-style terracotta jars) for at least a year. This maturation gives it a velvety patina and allows its red fruit aromas to flourish.
Tasting
Typical of the Morey-Saint-Denis climate, this Champs de la Vigne is a powerful and complex wine, offering notes of violet and red fruits. It expresses opulent fruit and remarkable minerality. Great elegance and finesse, silky and satiny with a lovely earthy and mineral nuance. The qvevri accentuates its fruitiness and the melting tannins. It will be a pleasure to pair it with grilled duck breast, grilled meats, beef, charcuterie and salted meats.

Frédéric Cossard and the domaine de Chassorney give the floor to organic and natural wines from Burgundy (and elsewhere), undistorted by agricultural chemistry, according to the style and convictions of this winegrower and merchant. Wherever the grapes come from, his wines bear the Cossard brand, both classic and creative.
Between viticulture and trade
Frédéric Cossard created the domaine de Chassorney in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne-Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own trading house and buys organic grapes from the greatest climates of Burgundy, but also from Jura, Languedoc and elsewhere.
A solid commitment to nature
At Frédéric Cossard, the work of the soil and the vines is done naturally: plowing by horse, biodynamics, no chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The harvest, by hand, is carried out at full maturity. Frédéric Cossard's vintages are rare and sought-after, wines that are always highly anticipated but which sometimes require waiting.
Borgonon Granate Red 2006,
Borgoñón Granate is an organic and natural red wine from Andalusia made from Pinot Noir. Classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), it is vinified by Cortijo Barranco Oscuro. As its name suggests, it draws inspiration from Burgundy. This 2006, which has had time to reflect, is one of the best vintages of this cuvée.
Vinification
This wine comes from Pinot Noir vines planted at an altitude of 1,280 meters on schist soils. The wine is aged for one year in old barrels.
Tasting
Borgoñón Granate is a beautifully atypical wine that displays remarkable density while being relatively clear and not very concentrated (a reference to Burgundy). Intense red fruits, cherries, melted and velvety tannins, and a long and seductive smoky finish. It ages well. Great balance, melted tannins, pair it with a beautiful grilled prime rib or Spanish canned fish. A pata negra ham? Certainly, it's a compatriot.
Learn more about Cortijo Barranco Oscuro
Manuel Valenzuela cultivates the highest vines in the world (1,368 meters), in Andalusia, on the Sierra Contraviesa. Barranco oscuro means "dark valley," a reminder of the original site of the property, which was moved at the end of the 19th century after the phylloxera crisis. In 1979, the estate was taken over by Manuel, who decided to use natural methods in preference to those of modern oenology.
A drop of 1,400 meters
At first, he bought grapes, but his goal was to replant vines. Currently, the twelve hectares of Cortijo Barranco Oscuro extend over a drop of almost 1,400 meters. On a poor, dry, schistose terroir, two localities concentrate the plots: Cerro Las Monjas at the very top and Hoyo y Cerro de Las Gayumbas lower down, near the winery buildings.
High-altitude wines
Strong thermal contrasts explain the freshness of the wines, produced without the addition of exogenous yeasts and without inputs in the vineyard or cellar. Although the estate is not certified organic due to the disillusionment that fraud in this area has brought Manuel, his estate is a member of the Spanish Association of Natural Wine Producers. His wines are straightforward and clean, without compromise: they give joy through the seriousness of the work that was necessary to produce them.

Vinification
The small clay-limestone Monts Luisants plot is located above the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. The Pinot Noir planted here is of the Pinot Fin variety, a very old and increasingly rare strain. The vines are around seventy years old. The vines are cultivated without pesticides and the wine is made without any additives or added sulfites, with whole bunch maceration.
Tasting
A dense, powerful, complex and elegant wine, a Burgundian gem like Frédéric Cossard knows how to make. This Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru "Monts Luisants" is overflowing with aromas of fresh fruit, substance and depth, with notes of red fruits and violets. This bewitching wine promises to improve for a long time, ten years and more. If you don't taste it beforehand, enjoy it with charcuterie, cured meats, roasted or grilled meats. A beautiful piece of wagyu from Spain or Japan selected by Aitana, that sounds tempting! Or a good fatty steak from Mézenc, not bad either with this great Burgundy.

The "Les Vignes Blanches" vintage is an organic and natural red wine from the Bourgogne-Mercurey appellation. It is produced by Frédéric Cossard, exclusively from Pinot Noir and aged in terracotta containers (qvevris).
Vinification

Pinot Noir Red 2022
Domaine Einhart
Pinot Noir—it's all in the title—is a red wine from the Alsatian terroir, organic (Ecocert and AB labels) and natural, made from Pinot Noir. Classified as AOC Alsace, it is a model of its kind, much fuller-bodied and robust than the average Alsatian Pinot Noir. A serious wine that makes you happy.
Vinification
The thirty-year-old Pinot Noirs from which this wine is made grow on the muschelkalk (shell limestone) terroirs of Dittelsberg-Albermohn and are harvested by hand, then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes place over two weeks. Aging for one year on fine lees, in demi-muids, precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any chemical additives or added sulfites.
Tasting
The deep, purplish color of this Pinot Noir from the Einhart estate evokes black cherry: it is a velvety, ripe red, 100% Pinot Noir, with an intense, fragrant, and gently fruity aroma. The first nose is enhanced by aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry) with a hint of freshness blended into a light vanilla woodiness. The second nose is more open, with aromas of blood orange, bitter almond, and kirsch. On the palate, the small fruits are still there, supported by present but well-melted tannins, and lead to a velvety finish resting on a lovely freshness. Plenty of persistence and length. Decant to express all its finesse and grace, and serve with red meats, roasts, stews, charcuterie and cured meats.
Learn more about Domaine Einhart
In the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, Domaine Einhart is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines grow on the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, or shell limestone and oolitic limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone).
A family estate
Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking work to protecting the land and biodiversity, making wine without inputs, refusing harmful phytosanitary products, and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic (Ecocert and AB) since 2011. The estate produces white wines from maceration or direct pressing and a Pinot Noir red.
The best of Alsatian terroirs
Entirely manual harvests, destemming of the bunches, light punching down, and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees, and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are pure grapes, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of these very beautiful terroirs in the Vosges foothills.
Cailloux Rouge 2022
Patrick Bouju
Cailloux is an organic and natural red wine from Patrick Bouju, with no added sulfites and sourced from the Auvergne terroir. Classified as a Vin de France, it is a wine extremely representative of its terroir and a fine example of the winemaker's refined expertise. The magnum format amplifies its natural character and further accentuates its depth.
Vinification
Cailloux comes from Patrick Bouju's old Pinot Noir vines located in Madargue, near Riom, in Limagne. The terroir is basaltic, clay-limestone, marl-limestone, and sandy. The grapes macerate in whole bunches, and during fermentation, 1% of the estate's Chardonnay press juice is added. The wine is aged for a year in sandstone amphorae and barrels.
Tasting
Cailloux lives up to its name: wild, smoky, long, and stony, with great aromatic persistence. Marked by intensely mineral notes: stone, metal. The fruit is present and juicy. The overall impression is dense and concentrated; the wine can be drunk now but will still have a few years to drink. Serving temperature: 14-16 °C. Open twenty minutes before tasting or decant. You can pair it with charcuterie, salted meats, beef and all kinds of local cuisine.

Plenty of fruit and roundness supported by sumptuous minerality; the blackberry and blackcurrant give free rein, and the palate reveals remarkable density and fullness.

This Pinot Noir from the Qvevris series comes from a plot with a steep, south-southeast-facing terroir located between 280 and 400 meters above sea level in the Saint-Romain appellation. The soils are primarily marl, limestone, and clay. The grapes macerate in whole bunches.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undistorted by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful viticultural practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked as a wine broker for some time before creating the Domaine de Chassorney with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine trading house and buys organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais crus. The practice is not limited to Burgundy since vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura or Languedoc. At his home, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to biodynamic principles: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Reds or whites, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.
