The Comtesse Marion Pinot Noir opens with delicate aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, and rose petal, lifted by hints of dried herbs and spice. On the palate, soft tannins and bright acidity create a graceful texture, showcasing layers of ripe raspberry, cranberry, and subtle plum. Notes of vanilla, earth, and a touch of minerality add depth and refinement, leading to a silky, lingering finish that is both refreshing and elegant.
Producer’s Background:
The Comtesse Marion wines are produced by the Vic family, renowned for five generations of viticulture in the Languedoc. Their estate combines centuries of tradition with modern winemaking techniques, focusing on sustainability and purity of expression. Nestled between the Mediterranean coast and rolling inland hills, the vineyards benefit from cooling sea breezes that help preserve the freshness and balance that define their wines.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve Comtesse Marion Pinot Noir at 15–16°C (59–61°F) in a Burgundy or tulip glass to enhance its aromatic complexity and silky texture. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, and mushroom risotto. For a lighter pairing, try it with herbed chicken, charcuterie, or soft-ripened cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Its refined acidity and supple structure make it an ideal companion to both elegant dinners and casual gatherings.
Its delicate fruit, soft spice, and smooth texture make it a quintessential French Pinot, approachable, expressive, and endlessly enjoyable.
