This Wine: Natural red wine with a light body. This is sublime Pinot Noir with an elegant and complex character. Black fruit flavours with cooling herbal notes and minerals. Beautiful balance and poise. A real hidden gem of a wine!

Notes on the Winemaker: Xavière Hardy is the woman behind Les Terres Bleues, situated north of the city of Nantes and the Loire river. She fought for the right to grow grapes in this region when it was not permitted. Now she produces wines in very small quantities made from Pinot Gris, Grolleau and Pinot Noir grapes grown on blue schist soils (hence the name of the winery).
