Domaine Biscaye is a unique, authentic place on the outskirts of Montpellier. The property has been in the Biscaye family
since 1924, and Emmanuel, at the helm for 20 years, is the 4th generation to steer the company, after his grandfather passed away. Still a student when he inherited the estate, he endeavoured to replant the entire vineyard. At the same time, he modernised the wine-making tools in keeping with his change of direction.
Concerned with respecting this unique place, in a peri-urban zone, as much as possible, and to accompany its ecological transition, Emmanuel took a new step in developing the estate. In summer 2020, he began to convert to organic farming.
In this warm, dry mediterranean climate, the estate’s sandy-silt soil has been completely planted with grass since 2019, with the aim of bringing the soil back to life. This respect for the environment makes for appreciated wines.
Tasting Notes :
Superb dark ruby colour. This Pinot has an assertive, full-bodied character but reveals a palpable softness and elegance in its tannic touch. The nose expresses itself on notes of fresh cherries and hints of sweet spices. The roundness and delicacy in the mouth give a beautiful aromatic persistence.
Food / Wine Pairing :
Aperitif, charcuterie, red meat, game and cheese platter.
Temperature :
15-18°C.
