2021 Tête De Cuvée Pinot Noir

Tête De Cuvée means the best wine of the vintage. This wine was born through Bill's and Dan's love of old world Pinot Noir wines and their desire to make the best Pinot Noir of which Picardy is capable.

This wine is not a reserve wine made in the usual method of selecting the best barrels for separate bottling. Instead, it is made entirely as a separate wine with a greater emphasis on intensity, complexity, structure and cellaring potential.

Please note if ordering a 6 pack:
Our website usually only accepts orders for 12 bottles at a time however you are welcome to order just a 6 pack of Tête De Cuvée.
The Tête De Cuvée may also be added to any mixed dozen.

Tasting note by Ambrose Nock:
"Capturing the essence of the vintage, the 2021 Tête de Cuvée shows an ethereal lightness and deftness of touch. Bright red fruits, fresh picked cherries and a rose petal influence drive both the bouquet and palate. The exceptional length of this wine may be its standout feature, allowing the wines purity and depth to shine. Fine tannins run alongside for support, with just a lick of new oak showing itself at present. Delicate and captivating."

Tasting note by Ray Jordan:
"Prettier more seductive and alluring form, a product of this cooler year.Complex weave of aromas with a truffle-like subtle earth merging seamlessly with the primary dark cherry and light raspberry primary fruit characters. The palate has a deep fruit intensity, but the fine-grained oak and slightly chalky tannins pull it back to focus with precision to a long linear palate"
