Le Fou "The Madman" 2022 Pinot Noir

Another delicious wine attesting to the versatility and variety that the Languedoc region delivers is this fantastic Pinot Noir.  Le Fou Pinot Noir comes from the IGP Pays d'Oc in the greater Languedoc-Roussillon region. The name "Le Fou" translates to "The Madman," which is a humorous nod to the idea that only a madman would try to grow a grape as finicky as Pinot Noir in the sun-drenched south—a myth that has clearly been dispelled by wines like this.  it opens with ripe red cherry, crushed raspberry, and a hint of cranberry, underscored by subtle floral notes and a whisper of spice. The palate is soft and supple, with low tannins and a juicy acidity that keeps the wine lively and approachable. There's a touch of earthiness and dried herbs that adds dimension, but the overall impression is one of freshness and easy-drinking elegance. It’s a modern, unoaked style that favors purity of fruit over structure, making it a versatile companion for lighter fare or casual sipping.
