Herve Villemade, Pinot Noir, Vin de France, 2020 ^Sale

Having passed from father to son since his grandfathers time , Herve took over the family vineyards in 1995. Having tasted the wines of his neighbour and that of Marcel Lapierre and being struck by their purity Herve converted to organic farming too.

Though his Pinot grapes come from Cheverny, he cant have the appelations name appear on the label as the local rules demand blending. This is a beautiful pure expression of Pinot Noir, that is bright and vibrant with fresh, crunchy red fruit flavours and a touch of earthiness.
