After a long ripening period in a somewhat cooler climate, the Pinot Noir grapes are harvested by hand. Each grape is meticulously inspected, ensuring only the finest juice reaches the bottle. The warm summers, with their refreshing breezes and cool nighttime temperatures, make the grapes perfect for aging in oak barrels. Jean Bousquet chose to purchase French oak barrels and age this red wine in them for ten months. After this period, the wine becomes a storybook wine, rich in richness and with a fantastic finish.
Bousquet's Pinot Noir Reserve is a bright ruby red with violet hues. The nose reveals complex aromas reminiscent of cherries and plums with hints of coffee, tobacco, and toasted nuts. Enjoy it slightly chilled to bring out all its beautiful flavors, as this red wine then reveals notes of lavender, light red fruit like strawberry and raspberry, and a touch of spice. The palate boasts typical Pinot Noir acidity that develops into a sultry and rounded finish.
