Beautiful layers of complexity with notes of dark fruit, earth, spice, smokey minerals and herbs. Perfectly balanced acidity. Punches above its price point and shows how Pinot Noir can shine in this part of the Loire Valley.

After meeting Marcel Lapierre in the early 90s, he was inspired to take the natural wine route and embarked on a journey to protect and promote rare, indigenous grape varieties around the village of Cheverny such as Romorantin and Menu Pineau.  His daughters Zoe and Louise started taking over the reigns in recent years and have brought a new energy  and drive to the project whilst respecting the foundations their father has put in the place. Each have contrasting skills and approaches that result in beautifully balanced and age-worthy wines. We visited in 2026 and felt honoured to step into a cellar with so much natural winemaking history. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highbury Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56751978873218,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0377\/0561\/3443\/files\/20250604-143610.jpg?v=1749636712","url":"https:\/\/highburylibrary.co.uk\/products\/p-pinot-noir-br-la-caillere-2024-br-clos-du-tue-boeuf-p","provider":"Highbury Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
