Who said Pinot Noir is only for red wines?
Champagne from Cote des Bar is made from Pinot noir and called Blanc de Noir. Those Champagne tend to be more on the fruity and wine side.
One of the best is Noir d’Eulalie, from my friend Edouard Duval
Pinot noir inspires art.
Very rare bottle of Pinot Noir with painted label by local artiste JF Vossot for Maison Ambroise in Nuits-Saint-Georges… 1991 was just to drink in 2022
Yorkshire Pinot Noir
Having lived in Yorkshire a few years ago I still can’t believe that they grow Pinot Noir there… though it’s definitely cold enough. Definitely looking forward to try one day this pinot noir from Yorkshire Heart.
Pinot noir’s best friend
Époisses from Berthaut, great with pinot noir from Bourgogne… or anywhere else.

Clos Vougeot 2007
Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2007, shared with a friend à la table de Léonce, the summer restaurant in Château du Clos Vougeot. Amazing drink #closvougeot #closvougeotgrandcru #bourgogne #ilovepinotnoir
Mastei Vernacoli Pinot Nero
Probably my first Pinot Noir from Italy. Called Pinot Nero it is mostly grown in Northern Italy needing the cool evenings from the altitude.
Light and easy. Will have to try more of those

Clos Vougeot cloud picture
Spending time in France was a great opportunity to go to Pinot Noir Mecca, the Clos Vougeot Castle, home to the “Confrérie du Tastevin” wine brotherhood. Since I am a member, I have been there many times but going there is always great. Weather and clouds were perfect for a beautiful picture of this magical place.
This time, I was having lunch at the castle, at “La table de Léonce”, the summer only lunch and wine offer at the Castle. This will be covered in a specific post.
