Le Grand Clos 2021 Pinot Noir

Le Grand Clos Pinot Noir has a classic Pinot Noir youthful deep ruby colour with a closed nose: this lovely chalky mineral wine delivers more stoniness than fruit at this stage! Nonetheless, it possesses evanescent, ethereal overtones of deliriously-scented, slightly-corrupt red raspberries and rose petal florals over underbrush. Super complex already, noble yet austere, clearly not ready, yet it hints at a complex and regal future! A rich mouthfeel tightens up to a chalky mineral-mined graphite acid line on the finish that portends development through longevity! Simply, one of the most singular Le Grand Clos ever to come off this august terroir! When the limestone-laced Niagara Bench terroirs deliver Pinot Noir of this terroir and grape-defining accuracy, one realises there is a yet-undiscovered (by the rest of the Wine World), simply grand potential for Pinot Noir here in the Peninsula!
