In cooler climate areas like Burgundy, Pinot Noir can lean towards more savory expressions, with notes of forest floor, truffle, and earthiness. In warmer climates like Napa Valley, Pinot Noir can be more fruit forward with flavors of ripe black and red cherry, strawberry, and even cola. In cooler climates, the resulting wines will have more tart fruit flavors, like tart red cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL FACTS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most expensive wine in the world is Pinot Noir. In France's Burgundy region, a winery called Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (or DRC for short) farms a small 4.5-acre grand cru vineyard called Romanée-Conti. Around 3,000 bottles of this wine are made each year, and you can find it on the best wine lists in the world starting around $20,000 a bottle! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHISTORY \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir is famously grown in Burgundy, France. The monasteries of the region lovingly tended the vineyards that were entrusted to them, and over the centuries they took detailed notes of what vineyards produced the best wines. When all you do you is eat, sleep, pray, and drink wine, it is not surprising that these monks wanted to have the best wine! Eventually these rankings were classified into a cru system: village wines could be made from any wines in a village, premier cru wines could be made from good vineyards in the village, and grand cru wines could only come from the best sites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDID YOU KNOW? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir was a late bloomer in California. It is notoriously hard to farm and does not like extremely hot climates, while Cabernet Sauvignon loves them. Only in the past 60 years have winemakers understood where to plant it (cooler areas, typically near the coast) and how to make it in a gentler manner that brings out the best in the grape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIF YOU LIKE THIS WINE, TRY: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLux Pinot Noir, Barbera, any light-bodied Wine of the Month \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard Bottle 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.coopershawkwinery.com\/Where-We-Ship.html\"\u003eView our Shipping Information\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease note: An adult signature is required for the final delivery of any wine shipment.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHWR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53721699975533,"sku":"404000761","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/4528\/6765\/files\/Pinot-Noirjpg.jpg?v=1786612822","url":"https:\/\/shop.chwinery.com\/products\/pinot-noir-wine","provider":"shop.chwinery.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
