Marie-Thérèse Chappaz, Grain Pinot Charrat 2021

Produktbeskrivelse

Charrat består af Pinot Noir fra top specifikke parceller. Den ene er Charrat Champ Dury, og så den oprindelige vinmark Les Esserts som Marie-Thérèse fik af sin far da hun fyldte 17 år, og som har skabt grobund for hele vinhuset. Begge parceller er primært tilplantet med Pinot Noir og består af kalksten.

Vinen besidder stor friskhed og nerve, men har samtidig en mere urtet og vild karakter end sin søstervin “Les Dahrres”. Hindbær, lakrids, tørrede urter og garrigue præger denne forrygende lækre Pinot Noir.

“The 2021 Grain Pinot Charrat from the La Combe Malindzo terroir displays a dark ruby color with garnet reflections and opens with a deep, pure and fresh yet intense bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits (stewed cherries), graphite, flint stone and hints of licorice, which gives a rather warm impression, actually reminiscent of the French Rhône and also of Grenache. Smooth, elegant and silky on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense and generous Pinot with concentrated and intense fruit and a very complex, saline and crystalline finish with fine but muscular tannins. This is a powerful wine to be cellared for at least 4 or 5 years. Excellent aging potential.” Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker.com
