2025 Fat Bastard Pinot Noir

The 2025 Fat Bastard Pinot Noir is a fruit-forward French red sourced from selected vineyards near Pézenas and Narbonne in the foothills of the Massif Central. The nose is bright and inviting, showing crushed strawberry, wild raspberry and cherry with subtle floral and savoury notes. Higher-altitude vineyard sites help retain freshness and aromatic intensity in the fruit.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied, juicy and smooth, with ripe strawberry and raspberry flavours supported by delicate tannins and fresh acidity. The 2025 is a blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Syrah, fermented and matured in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit character. The finish is soft, rounded and persistent.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Pinot Noir drinkers who enjoy approachable, fruit-driven reds with soft tannins and plenty of ripe berry character. Enjoy now, ideally served slightly cool, and pair with grilled pork, roast chicken, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, fresh salads or mild cheeses.
