The ‘Tout Près’ Vineyard was planted in 2001 and consists of different soil types for each of its three slopes. The largest is made up of black volcanic soil over limestone, the second of quartz gravel mixed with red ironstone and the third an iron strand in grey sandy loam. This site owes its name to its high vine density (7,300 vine/hectare): ‘Tout Près’ in French translates to ‘very close’. The ‘Tout Près’ Pinot Noir is vinified the same way as the ‘Farrside’ Pinot Noir, however, it is fermented with 100% whole bunches in a five-tonne oak fermenter. Aged in 100% new Allier French oak barrels. As the vines age, this wine becomes more expressive with each release. On the nose, this wine showcases red and dark fruit, followed by hints of spice and understated power, with striking acidity.
