Gaspard Pinot Noir 2023

Regular price $25.00
Why we like it

I like this wine because it's carefree and fruity with compelling dark fruit flavors, well-integrated fine tannins, and earthy undertones that create an approachable yet nuanced profile. Serve at 60-65°F without decanting to preserve the fresh, bright character.

Description

Gaspard Pinot Noir is crafted from organically farmed Pinot Noir grapes in France's Loire Valley Saint-Pourçain appellation. Sourced from 30-40 year old vines grown on clay-limestone soils, the grapes undergo destemming and semi-carbonic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in 350-hectoliter tanks. Created by Jenny Lefcourt under the Jenny & François umbrella, this natural wine is aged eight months before light filtration and bottling with minimal sulfur addition (less than 3g). The Gaspard label represents quality and affordability in Loire Valley natural winemaking at 12% alcohol.

Tasting notes

Light to medium ruby red color. The nose offers vibrant aromas of dark fruits, small berries, cherry, and earthy smoke with mineral notes. The palate delivers ripe black fruit, cherry flavors, and gentle tannins with pleasant acidity and subtle spicy undertones.

Food pairings

Perfect with charcuterie plates, pâté, light red meat dishes, and traditional Italian osso buco alla milanese. The wine's structure complements earthy, rustic flavors beautifully.

Producer profile

Gaspard

Gaspard is a natural wine label created by Jenny Lefcourt, a renowned importer and natural wine advocate under the Jenny & Francois umbrella. The grapes for this project are sourced from organic vineyards in the Loire Valley, France. A trusted winemaker in the region crafts the wines, ensuring they align with Jenny & Francois's discerning palate. The distinctive labels of Gaspard wines are the work of Madlen Herrstrom, a talented Swedish artist based in Paris who also named the label. Gaspard's wines stand out for their quality and affordability, a testament to Jenny & Francois's extensive knowledge of natural wine, organic farming, and natural winemaking practices.

Wine region

Loire Valley, France

Loire Valley wine represents one of France's most diverse and historically significant wine regions, stretching over 1,000 kilometers along the Loire River from the Atlantic coast to central France. This UNESCO World Heritage site produces exceptional wines across four main sub-regions: Muscadet, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine, and the Central Vineyards, each offering distinct terroir and wine styles.

The Loire Valley wine region benefits from a continental climate moderated by the Loire River's influence, creating ideal conditions for both white and red wine production. The diverse soils range from granite and schist in Muscadet to limestone and clay in Sancerre, contributing to the remarkable variety of Loire Valley wine expressions. This geological diversity allows the region to excel with multiple grape varieties.

Loire Valley wine showcases exceptional varietal purity, with Sauvignon Blanc producing crisp, mineral-driven wines in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, while Chenin Blanc creates everything from bone-dry to lusciously sweet wines in Anjou and Vouvray. The region's red wines, particularly Cabernet Franc in Chinon and Bourgueil, offer elegant, food-friendly styles with bright acidity and herbaceous character.

The Loire Valley wine region pioneered natural and organic winemaking in France, with many producers embracing minimal intervention techniques. From sparkling Crémant de Loire to the prestigious sweet wines of Côteaux du Layon, the region offers unparalleled diversity.
