Gaspard Pinot Noir 2021

Location: France, Loire

Grapes: Pinot Noir

Soil: Clay and limestone. Old vines (around 60 years)

Winemaking: Grapes are hand-picked and fermented with natural yeast. Aged about 12 months in neutral bigger barrels (400L) before being lightly filtered (no fining) and bottled.

Pinot Noir is carefree and fruity! Compelling light red with delicate tannins and plenty of dark fruit flavors that’s perfect eg. with a charcuterie plate, paté or some lighter red meat dishes.

From the importer Jenny & Francois: Gaspard is one of Jenny & François’ house labels – wines that come from our exclusive cooperation with carefully selected winemakers from France and beyond. It’s Jenny’s great pleasure to bring you wines that are kinder to both nature and your budget while being very delicious, and these Loire Valley creations definitely tick all the boxes!

All the wines are made with the traditional and most popular varieties from this iconic region, from the fruity spicy Cabernet Franc to fresh citrusy Sauvignon Blanc or the beloved Chenin. The grapes are sourced from growers who work sustainably or organically (no herbicide) across different vineyards in the Loire Valley, are fermented with native yeast, spend a couple of months on their fine lees and then undergo only light filtration and fining. The joyful labels are the creations of a Parisian artist that Jenny met there. “Gaspard” is a traditional French boy’s name that means “bringer of treasure” – a fitting title for these easy-drinking gifts that keep on giving.
