This six-bottle tour highlights classic regions alongside exciting global strongholds, showcasing the sheer range, tension, and elegance this grape achieves across diverse terroirs.

Sampler Includes 1 Bottle Each

Michel Fonnè Pinot Noir "Tradition" 2023 (Alsace, France)
Hailing from Bennwihr in Alsace, where the Vosges Mountains block incoming rain and create a sun-drenched microclimate, Michel Fonnè crafts a remarkably pure and refreshed expression of Pinot Noir. Bright, crunchy red cherries and wild strawberries lead on the nose, accompanied by subtle underbrush and floral violet notes. The palate strikes a balance of vivid acidity and silky, lighter-bodied fruit, showing a delicate hint of spice and an earthy nuance that resolves into a crisp, energetic finish. 

Jean-Claude Boisset Bourgogne Pinot Noir "Les Ursulines" 2022 (Burgundy, France)
Burgundy remains the spiritual heartbeat of Pinot Noir, and this bottling from the historic cellar in Nuits-Saint-Georges offers quintessential regional typicity. Sourced from old vines across clay-limestone soils, it opens with pure aromas of crushed raspberries, dark cherries, black pepper, and faint notes of subtle toasted oak. The palate is refined and structured, delivering fine-grained tannins, elegant length, and a savory underpinning that showcases classic Burgundian tension and poise. 

Blue Rock "Baby Blue" Pinot Noir 2023 (Petaluma Gap, California)
Funneled by the extreme coastal winds and fog of the Petaluma Gap AVA in Sonoma County, this cool-climate California entry displays wonderful aromatic intensity alongside polished fruit weight. Vibrant red cherry, ripe cranberry, and plum skin dominate the nose, complemented by rose petal, cinnamon, and black tea notes. On the palate, it delivers a rich, rounded texture supported by supple oak integration, lively acidity, and a touch of lingering forest floor spice. 

Voix de la Vigne Pinot Noir 2024 (Willamette Valley, Oregon)
Designed to capture Oregon Pinot Noir in its purest form, Voix de la Vigne focuses entirely on restraint, freshness, and fruit purity without heavy oak influence. Bright pomegranate, tart red plum, and wild strawberry aromas rise gracefully from the glass alongside hints of damp earth and herbal spice. Medium-bodied and energetic, it glides across the palate with lithe tannins, vibrant acidity, and an exceptionally food-friendly finish.

Loveblock Pinot Noir 2021 (Central Otago, New Zealand)
Sourced from the high-altitude, sub-alpine Bendigo sub-region of Central Otago, Kim and Erica Crawford’s organic estate creates a Pinot Noir of impressive depth and savory character. Aromas of brooding black cherry, fleshy plum, and dried violet mix with notes of mushroom, sweet tobacco, and warming baking spice. The palate delivers generous fruit density balanced by structured, dry tannins and a persistent mineral line

Weingut Hauck Spätburgunder Trocken 2023 (Rheinhessen, Germany)
German Spätburgunder is one of the most compelling sectors in modern Pinot Noir, and the Hauck family's entry from Rheinhessen demonstrates why. Highly aromatic and lifted, it opens with wild raspberry, sour cherry, and redcurrant notes backed by subtle white pepper and savory herbal framing. Clean, linear, and dry on the palate, it pairs crunchy red fruit with a fine-grained texture and a slate-like mineral bite on the long finish.
