WINE DESCRIPTION
Au Contraire, wines for the extraordinary, wines with charisma, from the finest vineyard sites. Brilliant ruby - multifaceted aroma of ripe cherries, raspberries, and plums, combined with violets, subtle spices, and delicate toasty notes - full-bodied, silky, and elegant on the palate, fine tannins, ripe fruit, and hints of noble wood - delightful and long in the finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Au Contraire Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of the varietal, showcasing the elegance and complexity that Pinot Noir is known for.On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and velvety, with a medium body and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of red fruit continue to dominate, accompanied by hints of earthiness and a delicate oak influence. The wine finishes with a lingering, balanced acidity, leaving a lasting impression.
