Description
De La Terre is a striking, sloping vineyard planted in 2007 at an unusually high density, producing naturally low yields more akin to Burgundy’s Grand Cru sites. Sitting just below the Serré vineyard yet expressing a completely different personality, its unique combination of slope, clonal selection and row orientation gives rise to a finer, more delicate style. The 2024 release highlights just how compelling this site has become, offering a lighter, more nuanced expression of Pinot Noir.
“Some wines just have that extra something, and this is one of those wines. It’s outstanding. The length of the finish here is for the ages. It tastes of iron, cherry, woodspice, undergrowth and cedar, red rose notes in the mix too, and it firms beautifully as it mounts its final attack. One sip and I was convinced. It’s complex, tense, and exquisitely well finished.” 96 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
“Snap, crackle and pop on the nose, aromas of sap, Campari, dried herbs, cherry, earth, rhubarb and underbrush. There's plenty going on here. Fine, focused, layered and mouth-filling, with lashings of supple red fruits, spice, textured tannins and a woodsy, ferrous earthiness. Length and poise are impressive." 95 Points - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
