La Petite Perrière Pinot Noir

In 1790, the Saget family embarked upon a long history dedicated to vines and wine, firmly placing Saget among just a handful of estates that enjoy their third successive century of business. Generations of the family have worked to create their signature Saget La Perrière wines - melding the perfect balance of richness and elegance via the meticulous selection of grapes, expertly crafted by skilled winemakers for the La Petite Perrière wines. The new designation of Vin de France offered them the opportunity to explore and discover the ideal balance between the fruitiness of the varieties grown in the south and their acidity when produced in the northern region (Loire). The Vin de France designation is utilized for the entire La Petite Perrière range. La Petite Perrière Pinot Noir is largely sourced from the Saget family’s estate vineyards in Touraine (Loire Valley) and a part of the blend is sourced from the South of France through long term partners.

The Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from Touraine in the Loire Valley and blended with grapes sourced from the South of France giving this wine an ideal balance of freshness and fruitiness.

This first sorting of grapes is carried out in the vineyard to ensure that only the grapes that have reached the desired maturity level are retained. They are then sorted a second time upon arrival at the winery before going into vats which are specially adapted for the “extraction” of this delicate grape variety. After spending three weeks in vat, the wines are aged in stainless steel for six months before being bottled.

Crimson hue with ruby tints. The fairly powerful nose exudes notes of morello cherries and red berries, followed by an array of spice and vanilla aromas. This well-balanced wine is lovely and light on the palate where it replays the fruity and spicy notes found on the nose.
