Le Rhône Gang Le Hold-up Pinot Noir & Grenache NV

Purchase Le Rhône Gang Le Hold-up Pinot Noir & Grenache NV

"Offers a light-bodied but persistent mix of briar, herb, tobacco and red cherry fruit aromas and flavors, with a brisk, minerally finish." -Wine Spectator

"Le Hold-up is a unique blend of Pinot Noir and Grenache. Intense in the mouth, with hints of cherries, the fresh character of Pinot is balanced with the silky texture of Grenache. A delicious and lively finish with notes of black pepper makes it a must-try with roasted duck and grilled chicken. Le Gang is a cooperation of four vintner friends: Louis Barruol (Saint-Cosme), Arnaud de la Chanonie (Avitus), Rodolphe de Pins (Montfaucon) and Frédéic Chaudiere (Pesquie & Paradou)." -Winemaker's Notes

Other products in the category Pinot Noir / France:

• Albert Bichot Vieilles Vignes Bourgogne Pinot Noir -- In your glass you get a pretty medium red color. The nose is filled with strawberry and sweet cherry aromas with a pleasant herbal undertone. In your mouth you get a very nice light-medium body with a little bit more to it than most California and Oregon Pinot Noirs. The fruit flavors are outstanding with great sweet cherry, sour cherry, and strawberry. Pleasant acidity and mild tannins provide balance and structure.

• Domaine Latour-Giraud Maranges Primier Cru La Fussiere -- This complex Pinot Noir is ripe with a rich nose of red berries, and toasted spices. The finish is breathy and rustic. This wine is well-balanced with superb, round mouth-feel. "For three centuries, Domaine Latou-Giraud has been a major proprietor among the most sought-after vineyards of the Cote de Beaune, primarily of the great white Burgundies. Its twenty-five acres of holdings lie in the finest zones of Meursault, Puligny, Volnay, Pommard and the hillside of the Maranges, producing a superb selection of estate-bottled wines." -Winemaker's Notes
