Tasting notes
Forward with primary fruit of framboise, the 2021 Pinot Noir Le Pre Du Col Vineyard pours a jeweled ruby hue and is expressive on opening with notes of candied roses, cedar, and forest floor. Full-bodied, it fills the palate with silky fruit, sweet tannins, and a stony finish. It’s great now, as are many of these wines from this vintage, and will continue to improve over the coming 8-10 years.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col is spicy and airy with a perfumed blend of dusty dried flowers, ground ginger and wild strawberries. This mixes savory and sweet with a cascade of violets and lavender over a stream of brisk acidity. It casts tangy red fruits across the palate, offset by a tinge of sour citrus. Only lightly tannic yet full of tension, Le Pré du Col finishes long and potent with an air of inner florals and hints of foreign spice. While its structural footprint doesn't have as much impact, the 2021 should mature beautifully on its balance alone.
Planted in 2006. Pale ruby in colour. Far more savoury than the La Spirale – forest floor and matsutake mushrooms alongside darker black-cherry fruit, cola and sassafras. Heavy silk texture with fine tannins and high, fresh acidity. Herbal notes of thyme and sage develop on the palate. (SCJ)
Medium ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col Vineyard has pretty scents of raspberry, cranberry, bergamot and mushroom, revealing more aromatic detail as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with concentrated fruit and loads of botanical and floral accents on the long, layered finish. I love this fragrant, detailed expression!
