Get to know: Terres Fideles, Montsable Pinot Noir
Tasting Note
This fresh and silky French Pinot Noir is packed with flavours of dark cherry, blackberry and red summer fruits, with subtle floral notes and a gentle, spicy finish. It’s smooth and well-balanced with a touch of French oak bringing in structure and a hint of toastiness. Elegant, affordable, and perfect for everything from cosy dinners to Sunday roasts. A great pick if you’re looking for a Burgundian-style Pinot Noir without the Burgundy price tag.
Food Pairings:
-
Perfect with roast lamb, duck stew, or game birds
-
Try it with mushroom bourguignon or chargrilled aubergines
-
Great with soft and nutty cheeses like Brie de Meaux, Gruyère, or Caerphilly
Kate Says
"If you love Pinot Noir and are looking for something that is good value but delivers all the classic flavour you want, this is the wine for you. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy the silky texture and subtle depth of flavour with a rustic French duck dish."
