Introduction:
The 2022 Serodes & Kovac Tâcherons Pinot Noir is a lively and elegant expression of Pinot from the Pays d’Oc, offering bright fruit, gentle spice, and regional finesse.
Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards in southern France where cooler altitude and well-draining soils support Pinot Noir’s finesse and aromatic clarity.
Appearance:
Light to medium ruby with shimmering clarity and a bright rim.
Nose:
Fresh red berry aromas—raspberry, cherry—meld with subtle black pepper, sandalwood, and a hint of forest leaf.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with juicy cherry and plum fruit, supported by soft tannins and approachable structure. A gentle spice note and modest oak add interest without overpowering fruit.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with red fruit echoing and a fine dry finish that invites another sip.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
-
Meat dish: Roast pork tenderloin with herbs
-
Vegetarian option: Wild mushroom risotto or roasted sweet peppers with goat cheese
-
Cheese pairing: Young semi-firm cheese like Gouda or mild sheep’s milk cheese
