Vin Noé Bourgogne ‘Gueule d’Amour’ Pinot Noir 2019
100% Pinot Noir | Burgundy, France | 13% ABV | Natural Wine

Discover the vibrant charm of Vin Noé’s Bourgogne ‘Gueule d’Amour’ Pinot Noir 2019, a micro-cuvée crafted by Californian-turned-Burgundian winemaker Jonathan Purcell. Sourced from two organically farmed parcels—Mellecey (Mercurey, red clay over limestone) and Saint Mard de Vaux (granitic-clay)—with 40-year-old vines, this wine embodies a bold yet tender expression of Burgundy’s iconic grape.

Hand-harvested and vinified with minimal intervention, the grapes undergo two weeks of semi-carbonic maceration followed by 10 months in old oak barrels. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites, it delivers a pure, lo-fi character. Expect a bouquet of crisp raspberry, sour cherry, and cranberry, laced with leather, forest floor, and a touch of musky Pinot funk. On the palate, it’s juicy and silky with precise tannins, bright acidity, and a mineral-driven, saline finish, offering both approachability and aging potential.

Perfect for spontaneous pairings with roasted poultry, charcuterie, or earthy vegetables, this flamboyant, fruit-forward Pinot Noir carries a rock’n roll spirit that redefines Burgundy tradition. Store below 18°C and decant lightly for 30 minutes to unlock its full aroma. A natural sediment may be present, a testament to its artisanal craft.
