Color: Jean Pinot Noir is a light ruby red.
Nose: Gourmet, this wine has a nose which is revealed with aromas of cherry, kirsch, raspberry, and a spicy touch.
Palate: The palate is supple, fine and complex. The balance is perfect. Easy to access, Jean is full of freshness and leaves you with a very supple finish.From the south of France, and not even a year old. That said, it’s on the bigger side for a Pinot, not exactly Burgundian but medium-bodied and full of flavour.
91 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)The sibling to the delicious Chardonnay we encountered earlier, this hails from vines planted on clay and limestone soils. Excellent value by any standard, it is great to see the wine under screwcap. There is hope for civilisation after all. Deep magenta hue here, the nose offers notes of violets, spices, dark cherries and florals. There are also hints of raspberries and a nod to a little undergrowth in a most attractive and lifted nose. The wine is finely balanced with sleek tannins and a lingering finish. Enjoy this over the next five to six years. Something a bit different but still most definitely worth a look.
