Terroir : Broadbridge, clay over gravels
Yield : 0.5 kg/vine (14 HL/ha)
After a cool spring, the young vines produced a small first crop of well exposed bunches. As with the Sauvignon Blanc, the warm dry autumn days and cool nights enabled maximum aroma accumulation while we waited for optimum tannin ripeness.

WINEMAKING :
After a cold-soak, wines were fermented in small half-tonne open fermenters with gentle hand plunging to enhance optimum colour and tannin extraction. The wine matured in French barrels with only 30 % new oak and a light filtration prior to bottling. We followed a hands-off approach during winemaking as much as possible and succeeded in pumping the wine only prior to bottling.

TASTING :
A very complex nose of sweet black currants, mushrooms, mocha and spicy oak can be found in our first "Clos Henri Pinot Noir". The small-berried bunches have created a wine with rich layers of dark fruit and ripe tannins which are seamless. Lovely to drink now, it should, however; age with elegance and reward the patient for up to 7 years.
