pinot noir wines

Choosing a Pinot Noir

Start with the bottle's region and tasting notes. Pinot Noir can offer red-fruit character and a lighter-feeling structure than many fuller reds, but styles vary: look for the producer's notes on body, acidity and oak.

For a first comparison, choose two different producers rather than assuming a more expensive bottle will suit you better. Read the vintage shown on each product and compare current prices above.

Pinot Noir with food

Consider roast duck, poultry or mushroom dishes. Match the sauce as well as the main ingredient. For the grape's French regional context, explore Burgundy.
