Tasting-Luc Pirlet Pinot Noir



Name:  Luc Pirlet Pinot Noir

Variety:  Pinot Noir

Region:  "South France," probably Rhone Valley

Country: France

Year: 2011

Price: $9.99

Notes from tag at Total Wine and More:  Made in an easy drinking style, this refreshing Pinot Noir comes from one of our favorite producers for value. Made without oak, the fruit is allowed to shine through with notes of fresh cherries and raspberries with hints of plum. Try this pinot noir lightly chilled.

My tasting notes:  The taste of cherries predominate. I tried this wine first at room temperature alone and with some cheese.  It was ok, but the finish wasn't remarkable. Tried it again 2 days later with a light chill and not much different.  I'll take a pass on this one, it wasn't anything to write home about.
