Flaneur Wines La Belle Promenade Pinot Meunier 2021
- Origin: Chehalem Mountains AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
- Winery: Flaneur Wines
- Grape Variety: Pinot Meunier
- Winemaking: The wine is crafted with a playful approach, involving 100% whole cluster fermentation with a combination of carbonic and traditional fermentation techniques. This method is aimed at producing a lively, youthful but serious red wine.
- Vineyard: Sourced from La Belle Promenade Vineyard, located at an elevation of 700-800 feet with northeastern and southwestern exposure. The vineyard is planted on volcanic soils, including Jory and Nekia.
- Tasting Notes: The wine exhibits fragrant aromas of violets, green olive, sassafras root beer, red cherry, and pomegranate. On the palate, it presents fruit-driven and playful flavors of dusty cherry and pomegranate, intertwined with a more serious vein of herbs de Provence, white pepper, soil, and mushroom. The texture is marked by fine tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a long and bright finish.
- Serving Suggestion: Best served slightly chilled to enhance its refreshing qualities.
