Eric Sautedé, WSET Level III

For our third foray into French grape varieties, we will be looking into one of the most elegant, revered and sought-after red grape
variety: Pinot Noir!
Originating from France's storied Burgundy region, Pinot Noir has captivated wine enthusiasts for centuries with its elegance and
complexity. Pinot Noir's allure lies not only in its delicate flavours and light body but also in its versatility, making it a
sommelier's favorite for pairing with a wide range of dishes, from delicate seafood to rich meats.
As we explore the nuances of Pinot Noir, you'll experience how its flavours can vary dramatically depending on the terroir in which it is
grown. In Bourgogne, the birthplace of Pinot Noir, it is renowned for its elegant, aromatic, and complex interpretations. The Côte de
Nuits and Côte de Beaune are particularly celebrated for their rich, nuanced aromas. In Alsace, known for its cool climate and
mineral-rich soils, Pinot Noir explodes with bright red fruit aromas and a distinctive mineral character. And then in the Loire Valley,
it offers a lighter style, often with fresh fruit flavors.
Join us as we uncover the secrets of Pinot Noir, a wine that is as much about finesse as it is about passion. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your wine journey, this evening promises to be an unforgettable exploration of one of the world's most beloved wines. So, let us raise our glasses and toast to the elegance and allure of Pinot Noir.
