Les Vignobles Foncalieu, Le Versant Pinot Noir, Pays d'Oc

I’m not normally a big fan of Languedoc Pinot Noir, but this translucent, 12.5% version from Foncalieu, with its teasing raspberry scents and light, fresh, elegant palate is a success.  It’s not too dry or too strong, nor does it have a bitter finish – the usual hazards here. Delicate, tender and true.
