2022 Rocheux Pinot Noir

Crafted from the rocky Western slope of our estate vineyard, the 2022 Le Cadeau Rocheux Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of the Pommard and Dijon 777 clones originally planted in 1999. The Rocheux blocks receive the heat of the sunset balanced with a crisp cool night breeze, resulting in rich mineral-driven fruit that maintains perfect acidity.

Awarded 93 points by Vinous: "The 2022 Rocheux is decidedly savory as grilled herbs and crushed stone complicate a core of black raspberry. This is soft-textured and round in character, with an herbal thrust that adds contrast as citrus-zested red berry fruits flow throughout. It tapers off grippy and long but is also remarkably fresh, leaving hints of blood orange and a spicy tinge to lingers on. The balance here is something to behold."
