Pinot Noir Wines

Pinot Noir is one of the world's most seductive and challenging grape varieties — thin-skinned, temperamental and demanding of the right terroir, but capable of producing wines of extraordinary delicacy, complexity and longevity. It is the grape of red Burgundy, where the great Côte de Nuits villages — Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny — produce wines of unparalleled depth that can age for decades. Beyond Burgundy, Pinot Noir finds beautiful expression in Oregon's Willamette Valley, New Zealand's Central Otago and Martinborough, Germany's Baden and Ahr regions, and in Alsace. The best Pinot Noirs share a common character: silky, fine-grained tannins; vivid red cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit; and a haunting savoury, earthy quality that deepens with age into leather, mushroom, spice and forest floor. At Wines Direct we source Pinot Noir from Burgundy and beyond, always prioritising producers who let the terroir speak.
