Le Grand Caillou Pinot Noir, 2022, Loire, France
“Le Grand Caillou” is a charming expression of Loire Valley Pinot Noir. It is challenging to find good value Pinot Noir, and this one is lovely. (Though don’t expect an extroverted California-look-alike.) This light-bodied red wine offers a delicate bouquet of raspberries, roses, violets, and subtle earthy accents. On the palate, it presents bright acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of tart red fruits with a hint of herbs, finishing with satiny tannins. The wine’s freshness reflects the cool climate and limestone-rich soils of the Loire region. With its elegant structure and moderate alcohol content, this Pinot Noir is versatile for food pairings. It complements dishes such as roasted poultry, grilled salmon, or mushroom-based vegetarian fare exceptionally well.
