Description

N° 7 symbolizes the time when Jean-Charles, at the age of 7, snuck a few tastes of some older Burgundies that his parents were serving at a party. For Jean-Charles, the experience not only developed his palate, but the seed was planted for his lifetime’s passion and work.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

This Pinot Noir dazzles with a deep burgundy hue as it graces your glass.

Aroma: 

The bouquet is a harmonious blend of cloves, allspice, dried roses, and stewed cherries, creating an inviting sensorial evolution.

Palate: 

With each sip, the palate unravels a tapestry of complexity, unveiling flavors of dark plum, sun-dried cranberries, and a subtle hint of oak that interlace to form a bold, yet subtly illuminated, taste profile. These exquisitely woven flavors and tannins guide you to a gracefully balanced acidity and a finish that lingers delicately on the palate.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The JCB N° 7 comes from cooler vineyard sites in the Olivet Bench, Sebastopol Hills, Petaluma Gap and Carneros. Bottled unfiltered, the wine presents as a dark burgundy color in your glass.
