The 2025 Fringe Société Pinot Noir is an elegant and approachable French red wine from the Languedoc region of southern France, showcasing the delicate fruit character and versatility of Pinot Noir. Influenced by the region’s Mediterranean climate, this wine offers a balance of ripe berry flavours, refreshing acidity and gentle savoury complexity. Its anticipated aromatic profile suggests juicy red cherries, wild strawberries, ripe raspberries and subtle red plum, complemented by delicate notes of violet, dried herbs, earthy undertones and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with soft, silky tannins and balanced acidity. Flavours of ripe cherry, cranberry, raspberry and redcurrant unfold alongside hints of forest floor, dried thyme and subtle baking spice. Its smooth texture and bright red-fruit character create an approachable Pinot Noir with enough savoury depth to add interest. The finish is dry and lingering, leaving impressions of fresh berries, gentle spice and refined tannins.
