2022 Pinot Noir Turitelles, Domaine d`Altugnac Wine Republic

2022 Pinot Noir Turitelles, Domaine d`Altugnac

Limoux, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Bright ruby with glints of garnet, this mountain-grown Pinot Noir is as elegant as it is expressive. The nose offers lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petal, layered with gentle spice and a touch of forest floor. On the palate, itā€™s supple and finely structured with silky fruit balanced by fresh acidity and a subtle mineral thread that speaks of its cool-climate origins. Refined, vibrant and quietly seductive, itā€™s Pinot with both polish and soul.

For when: the playlistā€™s mellow and dinnerā€™s home-cooked but perfect.
Pairs with: duck breast, mushroom risotto or roasted beetroot salad.
If this wine were a person, itā€™d be the one who always says less but means more.

Nestled high in the Haute VallĆ©e de lā€™Aude in Limoux, Domaine dā€™Altugnac is a benchmark for cool-climate winemaking in southern France. The estateā€™s elevated vineyards, planted on limestone and clay soils strewn with ancient marine fossils known as turitelles, yield fruit of remarkable purity and balance. Farmed sustainably and vinified with minimal intervention, the wines retain a natural freshness rarely found this far south. The 2022 Pinot Noir ā€˜Turitellesā€™ embodies this philosophy, a poised, mountain-born expression that bridges Burgundian finesse and Languedoc vitality.

Jean-Luc Terrier and Christian Collovray, the visionary minds behind Domaine des Deux Roches (also known as Bourcier-Martinot), expanded their horizons beyond MĆ¢con to Limoux in the southwest Languedoc in 1997. Today, they are proudly joined by their sons, Julien Collovray and Pierre-Alexis Terrier. Their vineyards, situated at 500 meters elevation, thrive on shallow soils rich in limestone. Paying homage to this lofty terroir, the domaine rebranded itself as Altugnac in 2020, reclaiming the historic name of the village of Antugnac from the 14th century.

The grapes are harvested and put in vats by gravity. A few days of cold, prefectural maceration, combined with gentle and daily pickling and winding, allows to extract a beautiful aromatic palette as well as silky tannins. The temperature of the fermentation is controlled not to exceed 25 degrees. After about two weeks the tasting of the juices is decided. Malolactic fermentation and ageing continue in stainless steel or concrete tanks for several months. Bottling takes place within a year of harvest. From harvest to winemaking, we limit inputs as much as possible. Fermentations are carried out without S02. Rearing and bottling are optimized to reduce total SO2.
