VDP Pinot Noir


The impact of the Mediterranean, forests, lakes and hills on the Pinot Noir grape in this southern location is striking and unmistakable.

Cépage: Pinot Noir

About the Producer:   The Rodier Family was a well-established family in Dijon.  At the beginning of the 20th century, Etienne Rodier established himself as a wine-merchant. Etienne had a fine palate and became highly respected in Burgundy . He died fairly young and his son, Camille Rodier, who created the famous Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin , took over. The wines from Etienne Rodier are famous for their elegance and their finesse.

   As reflected by the worldwide recognition their wines routinely receive, their passion for viticulture and winemaking continues undiminished in the current generation.

Tasting Notes:  An easy and elegant Pinot Noir showing aromas of wild cherries; on tasting the flavors of red fruits is delightful.

Recommended Food Pairings: Duck, Turkey, Pork Tenderloin or chops, grilled red meats, chicken with cream and mushroom sauces, mild cheeses.
