La Boussole Pinot Noir 2023

Produced by Henri Nordoc in the Pays d’Oc IGP of southern France, La Boussole Pinot Noir offers an elegant and approachable expression of one of the world’s most admired grape varieties. The Pays d’Oc region, located in the Languedoc, has become renowned for its ability to produce expressive varietal wines thanks to its diverse landscapes, Mediterranean climate and wide range of soils. Warm sunny days allow the grapes to achieve ripe fruit character, while cooler nights help preserve freshness, acidity and aromatic complexity. Henri Nordoc’s wines reflect this balance, combining the traditions of French winemaking with a modern style focused on purity, accessibility and showcasing the character of each grape variety.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir, La Boussole displays the finesse and freshness that define this delicate variety while offering the generous fruit profile often found in southern France. The wine reveals aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry and red plum, complemented by subtle floral notes, gentle spice and a touch of earthy complexity. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, with bright acidity, soft tannins and an elegant, refreshing finish. Versatile and food-friendly, this Pinot Noir is perfectly suited to charcuterie, roasted poultry, grilled vegetables, mushroom dishes and soft cheeses, offering a charming introduction to the style and diversity of Pays d’Oc wines.
