Description
Winemaker Notes
Ruby red in color with pretty aromatics including fruits notes like blackcurrant and gooseberry. The palate is ripe with rich tannins, along with spice and toast aromas. A gourmet wine and classic in style for this appellation. It is a round wine.
Ideal for white meats such as rabbit but also lamb and duck and grilled meats, beef, and veal braised or fine charcuterie.

The 2024 Colin Barollet Pinot Noir is a fine and expressive example of a well-made Vin de France, showing a light garnet color and opening with gently rustic aromas of fresh garden herbs, wild strawberry, and a subtle hint of forest floor. On the palate, this wine is bitingly crisp and frisky, delivering bright red cherry flavors, savory herbal notes, and a lively acidity that keeps the profile energetic, refreshing, and admirably precise. For an authentic and elevated match, pair this Pinot Noir with Poulet rôti aux herbes de garrigue — a farmhouse-style roast chicken seasoned with thyme, rosemary, and garlic, finished with a delicate pan jus and served alongside sautéed fingerling potatoes; the herbal complexity of the dish beautifully echoes the wine’s rustic style.
