Pino'c - 2022 - Kohki Iwata

100% Pinot Noir from the Pays d'Oc, made from 15-year-old vines farmed organically and planted on clay-limestone soils. After hand harvesting, the grapes are 100% destemmed in the cellar and crushed, then fermented two weeks in vats, with very little pumping over and no punching of the cap, to avoid extracting excessive tannins. Maturation for 18 months in 228-litre barrels, they're actually old barrels from Fred Cossard estate in Burgundy! Neither fined nor filtered, bottled on the 25th of January 2024with just a microdose of sulphur.
