Le Chat Noir 2009/10 Pinot Noir
- Winery: Le Chat Noir
- Style: Pinot Noir
Aude Valley, France -
Wow, an inexpensive French pinot that's great to drink. It is from the Aude Valley, rather than Burgundy which might explain why the makers can produce such concentration and flavour for so few dollars.
We've had Le Chat Noir in stock for a couple of weeks and it has already proven very popular. All who've tried have really enjoyed this well-priced pinot, and despite the fact that it has a slightly more savoury finish than your average big-fruited Tas or NZ pinot, it is extremely quaffable without food.
"The Domaine du Treille and Domaine de Martinolles vineyards are located in the foothills of the Pyrenees near Limoux with the famed walled hillside town of Carcassonne nearby. Over ten years of age, these naturally low yielding vineyards produce the finest French Pinot Noir outside Burgundy due to the cool climate, high elevation and similar soils." - Vincent Charleux, winemaker

Pinot Shop is located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia at 135 Paterson Street down at the river end near Cataract Gorge, Stillwater Restaurant and The Mill Providore. We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir.
That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive - we also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot…
