Want all the charming silky red fruit and scent of Burgundy’s Pinot Noir without paying the earth? That was the goal for Le Chai winemaker Mark Hoddy. We think he’s come up trumps – a perfect balance of lush ripe fruit and classic berry elegance.

Chai winemaker Mark Hoddy had a mission with this wine – to produce the best Pinot Noir outside Burgundy. With its silky raspberry charm and leafy notes, we think he’s succeeded. Working with this finicky grape isn’t easy – Pinot Noir is most particular about its soil and even more about its climate. Indeed, it likes a spot where the fruit only just ripens and the wine is elegant. You wouldn’t think that true of anywhere in southern France, but Joseph Bousquet's vineyards up in the hills offer just that. There, warm days are followed by cool nights that slow ripening of the grapes and ensure excellent aroma and freshness. Gently fermented, this is a charming red with soft red fruit, it’s great with chicken, game or a mushroom risotto.
