Pinot Noir 'En Coteaux' by Jeff Carrel 2022
Vin de France
Loading...
Winemaker Jeff Carrel had a vision: to make fine, silky Pinot Noir. Not from its spiritual home of Burgundy, but from the Languedoc. He sourced grapes from the high Pyrenean foothills and this strawberry, peony-scented red is the tasty outcome.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Story Behind the Bottle
We've been fans of the wines from Jeff Carrel since the 1990s. Born in Paris, he trained as a chemist, then fell in love with winemaking. His home turf and deep love is southern France, just outside Carcassonne in fact. There vines grow at a reasonably high altitude, in a cooler climate to obtain just the ripeness Jeff is after. He is renowned for being something of an eccentric, "effervescent and highly energetic, the bounciest winemaker we've ever met" said a South African mate! He channels this energy into making great wines, as you'll taste here. Pinot Noir from slopes up to 254 metres altitude, on ideal soils, the wine has a lovely ripeness and good kick of freshness. An appealing glass solo; great too with chicken or vegetarian pilaf.
