John Wilson | A Pinot Noir for Every Budget

Pinot noir is known for being tricky to grow but it's now thriving in several different parts of the world 

"Pinot noir is one of the most highly regarded grape varieties of all. Grown in the right climate and on the right soils,it can produce exquisite, ethereal, smooth wines. The problem has been finding the right conditions. In the past, only a few regions were able to produce convincing wines made from pinot noir. However, we now have very well-made wines from a number of countries. 

Pinot noir is susceptible to rot and yields are low. Given these difficulties, the wines will rarely be cheap. [...] And Alsace, once considered too cool to ripen pinot, is now producing some delicious wines."

Domaine Moltès, Pinot Noir, "Tradition", Alsace, 2025 - 13%

"Fresh ripe morello  cherries witha touch  of spice. Supple, smoothand moreish. Agreat summer wine to serve cool with charcuterie, salads, and tarts."
