Clos Henri Pinot Noir Estate 2023

$3199

The Bourgeois family has made Sancerre for over ten generations, and in 2000 they took that knowledge to the other side of the planet, planting an estate in Marlborough's Wairau Valley. Clos Henri is the result — a French sensibility applied to New Zealand terroir, fully organic since 2013. This Pinot Noir comes off the estate's glacial-stone and clay soils, ferments in open-top stainless tanks, and ages 11 months in large French oak vats so the fruit stays in focus. The wine is layered and savory, with Morello cherry, a hint of licorice, and the kind of fine, silky tannins you'd expect from a French hand on the cellar.

Robert Parker

"The 2023 Pinot Noir is a little reductive upon opening, and the fruit behind is layered with dark cherries, clove, aniseed, dark chocolate and crushed rocks. There is a profusion of forest floor and tapenade as well. In the mouth, the wine is gravelly and lean, chalky and lingering through the long finish. Give it a good decant prior to drinking; it will help loosen the lovely fruit that resides here. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." —Erin Larkin

"Juicy blackberry, black cherry and Earl Grey flavors show intensity and focus. The tannins are dense but polished, with details of chicory, fennel seed, loamy soil, sage and black pepper that linger."
