Domaine des Dieux Josephine Pinot Noir 2015

The 2015 vintage of the century also brought Domaine des Dieux a top-class Pinot Noir, pressed in the cool maritime climate and on clay-slate soils at the foot of Babylonstoren in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. All grapes are hand harvested and vinified in the traditional manner. Bright cherry, pomegranate and cranberry notes on the nose, underpinned by subtle cinnamon and earthy tones, with a hint of smoke from ageing in small French oak barrels. Generous and full in the mouth, with supple tannins and a lingering red fruit finish. This is a powerful expression of Pinot Noir that demands full-bodied and adventurous cuisine.
