Corette Winery is a relatively young winery. It was founded by Catherine and Laurent Delaunay, who already own successful wineries in Burgundy and the Côtes du Rhône. They decided to bring their knowledge and expertise further south to France and settled in Languedoc-Roussillon. They specialize in producing wines from a single grape variety. This allows them to fully express the characteristics of each grape and present them to the wine-drinking public. The unique Pinot Noir, which plays a key role in this red wine, has also carved out a special place in the Languedoc-Roussillon vineyards.
Despite the distinctive character of this Corette Pinot Noir, the winery remains true to its vision: producing everyday wines. Even for non-Pinot Noir drinkers, this Corette red wine is a pleasant surprise. This is primarily due to the oak aging. The beautiful juice is aged for up to nine months in oak barrels. This gives it a robust and spicy character, revealing refined aromas of raspberries, strawberries, and spices. The finish is intense with lush nuances of cinnamon and cumin. However, the velvety character of Corette Pinot Noir remains well-preserved.
