Description

N° 11 is always SPONTANEOUS. Harmonious and balanced, it is quite GRACEFUL. N° 11 is ROMANTIC, reminiscent of an evening by a glowing fire.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

The nose first unveils an alluring medley of an inviting array of cherries, dried cranberries, and a whisper of mossy forest floor.

Palate: 

On the palate, this delicately profound Pinot Noir unfurls a tapestry of flavors, including dark stewed fruit, the freshness of oak, and subtle notes of strawberry all elegantly counterbalanced by its vivacious acidity. JCB N° 11, is a bold yet ethereal offering culminating in an enduring, refined finish that lingers gracefully.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

What The Number 11 Signifies: For Jean-Charles, the age of 11 was a magical time in life, an age of endless possibilities and burgeoning dreams. Inevitably, the number 11 became the number behind the wine, one of his favorite Pinot Noirs, and a reminder of an enchanting time in life.
