Moillard Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots

The Vineyard

Pinot Noir – One of France’s most legendary grapes and the grape that earned Burgundy its reputation. The parent of varietals like Pinot Gris/Grigio and Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir is blue to violet to indigo in color with relatively thin skins, and it is
said to have been cultivated in France for more than 2,000 years. At its best, Pinot
Noir creates elegant wines that are filled with primary red fruit aromas and flavors
while young, revealing with an array of secondary characteristics like earth, smoke,
violet, truffle and game with age. The varietal is also known, perhaps better than
any, for its ability to translate terroir, or a sense of place. While the best Pinot Noir
still comes from Burgundy, it is being produced with increasing success in cooler
climates around the world.
