2023 Ethereale Pinot Noir, La Belle Etoile

Pale ruby and delicately perfumed, Ethereale lives up to its name, light, graceful, and quietly captivating. Aromas of crushed raspberry, red cherry and rose petal drift from the glass, joined by a hint of wild herbs and spice. On the palate, it’s soft and silky, with juicy red berry fruit gliding over fine tannins and a whisper of earthiness. Bright, balanced, and oh-so-drinkable, it finishes with gentle freshness and a lingering floral lift.

For when: the food’s simple, the mood’s easy, and the company’s just right.
Pairs with: charcuterie boards, roast chicken, or mushroom pasta.
If this wine were a song, it’d be played on vinyl, smooth, understated, and impossible not to like.

La Belle Étoile, “The Beautiful Star”, is a modern Languedoc project dedicated to crafting elegant, expressive wines that shine with southern French character and contemporary polish. Ethereale is sourced from cooler vineyard pockets where Pinot Noir ripens slowly, preserving freshness and finesse while capturing the sunlit charm of the region. Made sustainably with minimal intervention, it’s a perfect balance of lightness, purity, and quiet sophistication, a Pinot Noir that dances rather than marches.
