What is Pinot Noir?
Pinot Noir is a red grape variety that originated in Burgundy, France. Its name refers to the compact, pinecone-shaped clusters ('pinot' means pine cone, 'noir' means black). It is a difficult grape to grow, but under perfect conditions it produces some of the most refined wines in the world.
Origin and vineyards
Burgundy is the birthplace of Pinot Noir, with iconic appellations like Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, and Volnay. Outside of France, the grape thrives in cooler regions like Oregon, Central Otago, and Casablanca Valley. Pinot Noir thrives in chalky soils and temperate climates, where cool nights create fresh acidity and delicate aromas.
Grape and style
Pinot Noir typically produces wines with a light to medium ruby color. Young Pinot Noir is often transparent and bright, while older vintages evolve to a brick-red hue. The aroma and flavor often reveal red fruit such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, complemented by spicy or earthy notes as the wine ages. Oak-aged Pinot Noir gains additional depth through influences of vanilla, spice, and sometimes smokiness, but always retains an elegant structure and fine tannins.
Storage and serving
Pinot Noir is generally lighter in structure and therefore easier to drink than more robust grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon. However, top wines from Burgundy or Oregon can easily age for ten to fifteen years. Serve Pinot Noir slightly chilled, around 14 to 16 degrees Celsius, to allow its refinement and fruitiness to fully develop.
