JCB Nº. 3 Pinot Noir
Elegant mid-weight reds are made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share European sensibilities and a savory food-oriented flavor profile.
FOOD PAIRING: Flexible partners for lighter meats, poultry & seafood (served hot). Ideal for dishes accented with CHEESE, MUSHROOMS or GARLIC, but not suited for spicy heat or sugary foods!

Description
Tasting Notes
- GRACEFUL
- HONORIS
- MARITUS
Two worlds uniting as one creates a sum greater than its parts: one plus one equals three! Inspired by the birth of twins that bear the imprint of the Old World and the New, this wine celebrates the marriage of two wine worlds united to create a grander vision in which oceans may separate us, but wines unite us… JCB N° 3 is the best of both worlds! A beautiful blend of Burgundian and Russian River Pinot Noir, this GRACEFUL wine pays homage to Jean-Charles Boisset’s family home in Vougeot and his love of California and her wines. Celebrating this MARITUS of cultures and styles, our N° 3 Pinot Noir HONORIS both the elegance of Burgundy, France and the power of the Russian River Valley.
WinemakingAppearance:A brilliant garnet color in the glass.
Aroma:Aromas of dark macerated cherry intermingled with anise and cocoa.
Palate:Medium-bodied, well-balanced and the epitome of refinement, the 2021 vintage expresses flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, and a hint of rosemary with a long finish that lingers on the palate. This worldly expression combines the old and new, for an unparalleled adventure through time and terrior.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:Our N°3 is an expansive and opulent wine which unites Pinot Noir fruit from four top vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, in the heart of Burgundy, with three exclusive locations across the Sonoma Coast of California.
