Produced by the collaboration between Burgundian winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo and Jay Boberg, it reflects a Burgundy-inspired philosophy, with native fermentation and French oak ageing (around 25–30% new oak) to enhance structure, depth and finesse. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe nose is highly aromatic and layered, showing ripe cherry, wild strawberry and pomegranate, complemented by notes of violet, forest herbs and orange peel. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e There is added complexity from earthy nuances, tea leaf, spice and a subtle floral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"483\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, refined texture and fine, chalky tannins. Flavours of red and blue fruit are supported by bright acidity and a mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant and nuanced finish. The style is polished and expressive, combining fruit purity with savoury complexity and classic Willamette Valley precision. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1607\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout New World Pinot Noirs and a great alternative to Burgundy at a more accessible level. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy perfumed, structured Pinot with both fruit and savoury depth. This is not heavy or overly oaky—it’s refined, layered and built on balance and finesse. Drink from 2025 or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with duck, lamb, mushroom dishes or refined dining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 117.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 267.625px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 276.375px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 267.625px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 276.375px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNicolas Jay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 267.625px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 276.375px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 267.625px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 276.375px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 267.625px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 276.375px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 267.625px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 276.375px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Jay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51178918281531,"sku":"MEONYP236","price":189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2023Nicolas-JayWilliametteValleyL_EnsemblePinotNoir.jpg?v=1776411730","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2023-nicolas-jay-willamette-valley-lensemble-pinot-noir","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
