BRICE ALLOUCHERY 'Pinots Noirs'

Brice Allouchery took over his family’s estate in the Premier Cru village of Écueil in 2018, immediately steering it toward a strict, patience-driven organic philosophy. This bottle is a 100% Pinot Noir pulled from prized, deep-rooted vines that average over 60 years old, originally planted by his grandfather. Fermented and aged slowly in seasoned oak barrels within his deep, freezing-cold cellars, it is bottled raw and naked without fining, filtration, or any added sugar as a bone-dry Brut Nature.

Why we love it: The old-vine fruit combined with oak fermentation grants the wine a gorgeous, vinous copper tinge and a deeply comforting, exotic nose loaded with brioche, orange peel, apricot marmalade, nutmeg

The vibe: You just moved into a new place and everything is a mess. Unfold a blanket, grab the paper plates that were delivered with the pizza and pop this bottle to celebrate.
