Fermier Pinot Noir Niigata Kakudahama 2024 750ml [B465]

100% Pinot Noir from Kakudahama, Nishikan, Niigata City. The wine is packed with dense, ripe fruit, complemented by sweet and smooth tannins.

The terroir consists of a layer of andesite bedrock formed by magma flows from eruptions of Mount Kakuda, which was once an underwater volcano. On top of this lies an alluvial layer created by the post-glacial rise in sea levels, and further above that, coastal sand dunes.

At Fermier, Burgundian Dijon clones (115, 667, and 777) are cultivated in gravelly soil, producing small berries packed with concentrated umami and flavor. Clone 115 was originally selected from Domaine Ponsot's Clos de la Roche vineyard and is now the most widely planted clone in Burgundy, while Clones 667 and 777 also originate from the Morey-Saint-Denis area.
