2021 Pas de Problème Pinot Noir, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

All the fruit is destemmed and carefully inspected so that no stems proceed to the extraction phase and create green characteristics in the finished wine. Cold maceration lasts 8 days with occasional punch-downs that develop a more aromatic quality. After the maceration, fermentation is allowed to begin spontaneously and carries out over two weeks.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Pas de Problème is sourced from vineyards in the Languedoc region, specifically the ancient hill-town of Enserune (15 mins southwest of Béziers). There, 30-year-old Pinot Noir vines are planted on southward-facing slopes of clay and limestone. The soil here resembles the famous ones found in Burgundy, guaranteeing optimal growth for this variety, with an emphasis on balance and minerality. Located 20 mins away from the Mediterranean Sea, the vines endure both oceanic and continental influence; hot days allow for sublime ripeness, while frigid nights help to preserve the natural freshness of the grapes.
