The 2024 Domaine Girard Pinot Noir is a bright and approachable red from the cooler, elevated vineyards of the Pays d’Oc in southern France. It displays fresh aromas of crushed strawberry, red cherry and cranberry, accompanied by subtle dried herbs and a gentle earthy note.
On the palate, it is light, supple and fruit-driven, with lively acidity and fine tannins. Fermentation and maturation in tank preserve the purity of the red fruit, while a delicate savoury character adds interest to the clean, refreshing finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday Pinot Noir for those who enjoy light-bodied, refreshing reds with bright fruit and minimal oak influence. Serve lightly chilled at 12–14°C and enjoy over the next two to three years. Ideal with charcuterie, salads, grilled chicken, veal, pork tenderloin, barbecue dishes or soft cheeses.
