Flavour Profile
We've been fans of the wines from Jeff Carrel since the 1990s. Born in Paris, he trained as a chemist, then fell in love with winemaking. His home turf and deep love is southern France, just outside Carcassonne in fact.
There vines grow at a reasonably high altitude, in a cooler climate to obtain just the ripeness Jeff is after. He is renowned for being something of an eccentric, "effervescent and highly energetic, the bounciest winemaker we've ever met" said a South African mate.
He channels this energy into making great wines, as you'll taste here. Pinot Noir 'En Coteaux' comes from vineyards on slopes up to 254 metres, set on ideal soils, delivering lovely ripeness balanced by a vibrant, fresh kick. An appealing glass solo; great too with chicken or vegetarian pilaf.
