Les Chênes Reuilly Rouge 2012 – Loire’s Forest-Floor Pinot Noir, Aged to Perfection

Tasting Notes

Picture deep garnet in the glass, then an immediate dip into red forest fruits—cherry, raspberry—and a swirl of earthy undergrowth. Subtle floral whispers rise from the glass (think violet or wild herb), all wrapped in silky tannins and a structured, lingering finish that says, “Yes, aged Pinot can still glow.”

Meet the Winemaker

Denis Jamain is the modern-day bard of Reuilly, reviving its legacy with organic and biodynamic finesse. His "Les Chênes" comes from clay-limestone soils peppered with Kimmeridgian fossils and aged vines, all fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in barrels made from his own oak forest. It’s place, spirit, and heritage bottled
