<< Les Calcaires >> refers to fossil rich calcareous limestone which helps to form some of the best wine-making terroir in central and northern France. These alkaline limestone soils help impart balance and minerality to the resulting wines. This is a smooth and supple Pinot Noir bursting with juicy red berry fruit flavours. Well-balanced with a hint of warm spice and a soft yet fresh finish.
