MEMORIOUS PINOT NOIR 2017
DOMAINE DE LA CÔTE
In 2007 Domaine de le Côte started planting experimental Pinot Noir seedlings. As these have grown they have revealed the genetic 'memories' of Pinot Noir, so in tribute they named the adjacent vineyard, 'Memorious'. The wine it produces is extraordinarily deep and complex.
- Bright red fruit; spicy, earth undertones; smooth and velvety; subtle tannins on the finish.
- Only 270 cases of this wine are produced, from a single vineyard site of exceptional quality.
- The earthiest of Domaine de la Côte's wines, like a great Burgundy with a dose of California sunshine.
- Could drink from release, but will change and improve for 5-10 years.
- Enjoy with earthy, gamey food, roast meat or mushroom dishes.

“Sweet oak scent, fragrant stem character giving a bittersweet sap to the palate. Moderately firm tannin but still very light bodied. Savoury, dark finish.”
“Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr focus on terroir-oriented Pinot Noir. This marries earthy Burgundian characters with some Californian warmth. Elevated aromatics are complemented by fine tannins, crisp acidity and purity of fruit. Oak underpins the structure but is so understated. Fine, fresh, elegant.”
