Pinot Noir

While we continue to expand our collection of Burgundies, more and more new-world winemakers are coming to terms with this challenging variety. Australians have identified Geelong, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria as suited to premium Pinot Noir. More recently, Tasmania has shot up the ranks. Mount Mary, Farr Rising and Tolpuddle are names to seek out. New Zealand is also producing some compelling, full bodied wines. Look for regions like Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago.

2019 Vincent Dancer Beaune Les Montrevenots Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Vincent Dancer runs a tiny operation based in chassagne-Montrachet where he crafts his wines from five hectares of well-situated vineyards. The winery is small even by the standards of Burgundy, and despite Dancer’s reclusive nature, the wines are well known to a small circle of restaurateurs and wine-lovers who reliably take their miniscule allocation year after year. Vincent is quietly individualistic, creating his own lean, bright, and savory style of wines, trusting his instincts and experience to make the best possible wine in his own way.

A very high-altitude, rocky site, Les Montrevenots is at the top of the hill on the Pommard boundary above Clos des Mouches. It’s a south-facing slope, which to some extent mitigates the vineyard’s altitude. Dancer’s parcel was planted in 1996. The white marl, limestone-rich soils here (quite different to the greater clay components of Dancer’s other red sites) tend to bring more perfume, raciness and powdery, fine structure.

Other Reviews....
Very fresh aromas are comprised by notes of red and dark berries that exhibit lovely spice wisps along with a background trace of earth. There is fine vibrancy to the intense, well-detailed flavors that terminate in a mildly austere bitter cherry suffused finish. As is usually the case, this is relatively fine and a wine that should drink reasonably well young if desired. Drink 2025+.

Cellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2020-2024)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

The inspiration behind Vinea Marson stems from winemaker Mario Marson’s Italian winemaking heritage – stretching back some four generations. Mario’s grandfather grew and bottled Friulano, Cabernet and Merlot and his great-grandfather, Giuseppe Zaghet, was chief winemaker for the local landowner, the padrone of Villa Brunetta at Prata di Pordenone, based in Friuli, in the early twentieth century. This was transferred to suburban Melbourne where his migrant father, Giuseppe, planted rows of vines in their backyard to bring wine to the dinner table each night. Mario continued this tradition both as viticulturalist and winemaker for some twenty years in the Yarra Valley – mostly at Mount Mary Estate. In 2000, Mario and his wife Helen established an eight-hectare vineyard in the foothills of the Mount Camel Range at Heathcote bringing the traditions of the old world to winemaking in the new. Today, Mario works alongside his daughter Madeleine.

A gorgeous Yarra Valley Pinot.

Semi translucent bright dark red colour with subtle black tinges to the edges and a light red hue. Perfumed like aromatics of violets, ripe red cherries, strawberries and fresh herbs intermingle with forest floor and spicy cedar. Moreish flavours of ripe red cherries and strawberries infused with fresh herbs have a beautiful supple textural feel overlaying forest floor, a subtle meatiness and spicy cedar nuances. Excellent power wave with very polished tannins and ample freshness. Finishes long and savoury.

2022 Wantirna Estate Lily Pinot Noir

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$105. 00
Bottle
$1260.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

2024 marks 61 years since the first vines were planted at Wantirna Estate, established in 1963 on an east-facing slope in Melbourne's southeastern outskirts. Once a mix of orchards, bush, and grasslands, the vineyard thrives today under the care of Maryann, Reg's daughter, though Reg remains actively involved. The wines, named after his four grandchildren, feature labels illustrated by Michael Leunig, reflecting each grandchild's personality—a heartfelt touch to this family-run estate.
The vineyard's three distinct Pinot Noir blocks, covering just ten acres, are hand-harvested separately, often with up to two weeks between harvest dates. The mature block, with vines from the early 1970s, contributes savory tones and fine tannins. The Front block adds spice, while the Fruit Tree block offers generous fruitiness. Blended together, these components create the complex Pinot Noir style Wantirna Estate is renowned for.
Other Reviews....
I most often think the Pinot Noir is the weakest link in the Wantirna wines, though this wine gives me pause. This is not your fine Upper Yarra Pinot style, but it has something about it.
This is a very interesting wine, and really quite engaging. Red fruits, orange peel, spice, red capsicum, rose oil, with some cedar oak in tow. It’s perhaps a little deeper and more concentrated than is usual, has quite some amaro character in the mix, strawberry and raspberry, poached rhubarb, a little bit earthy, not least in the tannin department, and offers a bold finish of excellent length. Charismatic and maybe even idiosyncratic, but yes, it’s very good. Drink 2025 - 2034+

Other Reviews....
Poached strawberry, cherry, a musky and rosy perfume, spicy woody top notes, slightly bloody/earthy too. It’s medium-bodied, but it’s also a firm and savoury wine, a little orange peel in with cedar and rhubarb, and I like the way the tannin is etched through – you can really feel it – and there’s a firm toasty finish of excellent length. It’s typical house/vineyard style here, though maybe a little more finely wrought than is usual. Very good. A few more years cellaring would be ideal. Drink 2024 - 2034+

Other Reviews....
Great to see the Wantirna Estate wines once again and generously sent to GW and me in a small yield year. Fantastic and unique wines.
Distinctly fine boned expression here. There’s bright red cherry characters, some smoky paprika elements and clove-cinnamon oak flavours, drawing into a woody, dried herb finish. Light, tense, distinctly dry and chewy. Fine, pumice-stone tannin works well. The pinosity is different here, not the silky, concentrated and fine draw expected, but there’s merit in this expression and its interesting to see how this release works. Out of the box in a way, but worthy. Drink 2022-2030.

Maryann Egan, who I’ve met a few times now, is one of the better people in the world of wine. Not to say that makes a difference to what’s in the bottle, though at whiles I like to dream that good character could perhaps be osmotic…
Cherry cola, creamy spicy oak, dried mint. Medium bodied, lovely fine silty tannin provides traction, even acidity, poached spiced strawberries, shines on the finish with a pretty perfume and dried herb, and carries long. It’s a light wine of substance, if that makes sense. Easy to like. Drink 2019-2027.

From the Coldstream Hills sub-region, this wine is from a range of clones, pressed into 500 litre French oak puncheons, where it matures for the best part of a year. The team use 20% whole bunches and the remaining 80%, whole berries. A vibrant crimson hue, there are notes of cherries, florals, raspberries and Asian spices. Finely balanced, fresh and with good energy, it offers a lovely seductive texture. Seamless in structure, there is serious persistence. Much to like here and it should provide immense pleasure over the next four to eight years. Drink 2025-2033.

Light yet rich and supple with an expansive flavour profile and long savoury finish.

William Downie is a pioneer of minimal-intervention, site-driven Pinot Noir in Australia. Based at Guendulain Farm in Yarragon, where he and wife Rachel Needoba planted a high-density 2-hectare vineyard in 2007, he also leases top sites like Bull Swamp and Camp Hill. Downie is known for his meticulous vineyard work and dedication to expressing place through Pinot Noir.
The Gippsland Pinot Noir is blend of fruit from the Matthews Vineyard in Berrys Creek and Guendulain Farm in Yarragon. Matthews, planted in 1998 to MV6 on red volcanic soils, is a cool, damp, dry-grown site producing dense canopies. Guendulain, established in 2008 with high-density plantings (10,000 vines/ha) of MV6 and Pommard clones, contributes structure and depth.
Dark red core with black shaded edges and a red to dark red hue. Perfumed aromas of violet, red cherry, strawberry and clove entrance the olfactory senses with some earth, wild herb and spicy cedar notes also evident. Light in body but simultaneously rich and supple, the palate features expansive red to dark cherry and strawberry fruits over a subtle rhubarb, forest floor, spicy cedar and dried herb back drop. Outstanding power wave with polished tannins and a beautifully balanced freshness. The long, graceful conclusion, highly savoury.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Gee, I do love Gippsland pinot noir. This is beautifully modulated with a deeper, richer fruit profile, although it's far from fruity. In youth it simply shows more primary elements. A whorl of dark cherries, pips and black plums with pomegranate molasses, sweet spices and lots of autumnal fragrance – the earth and damp leaves. Lovely tannins, fresh acidity and, while it will last some distance, lovely now. Drink by 2036.

Dark-fruit aromas are supported with notes of cherries, blackcurrants, graphite, potpourri and earth. The medium-bodied palate has a midweight mouthfeel and finely tuned tannins. A lovely balance of power, finesse and perfume. Delicious. Drink or hold.

At least the suite of ’24 pinots turned up even if no information came with them. I do know Cathedral is made from fruit off several vineyards across the state. This is a tip-top offering – not too much of anything, just a balance of cherry fruit and pips, chinotto, wood spices and woodsmoke, a little autumnal too. Lovely perfume. Mid-weighted at best, the tannins supple, the acidity cleansing, and there’s good texture. A nice intro to the pinot world, according to Bill. Drink by 2032.

The intriguing 2023 Pinot Noir Gippsland, off volcanic soils, is classic Gippsland. It offers up layers of dark earth and spices (fennel seed and roasted star anise), well supported by a core of dark cherry and older oak. Despite the lower 12.5% alcohol, there is good upfront volume of flavor, softening through to spicy tobacco tones. It finishes with silky tannins and impressive length. Drink 2024 - 2030.

Angus Hughson - Antonio Galloni's Vinous
A danker, more resinous expression of medium-bodied pinot noir, befitting the volcanic soils of Gippsland. Darker than its Mornington sibling, exuding hints of blood plums, sarsaparilla and sandalwood along a frame of well-hewn woodsy tannins. A beautiful wine, crafted with a deft touch, as is the wont of Bill Downie. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Other Reviews....
Fragrant riffs on Damson plums and mossy underbrush, never straying into the red fruit and orange peel accents that can mark many wines from this maritime region. The tannins are gently evergreen, filigreed, long and lithe, directing the waft of flavors while compressing the finish nicely to confer just enough tension. A delicate medium-bodied pinot noir of considerable class and detail. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

There was so much to love in this Pinot, from its complexity to its sapidity to its long length. With a ruby hue and a slight tinge of purple, it is bright in colour but also aroma, showing bountiful red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, confectionery, forest floor and musk. The palate is full of flavour yet it’s refined and not over the top, with the brightness of fruit carrying from the first sip to the last. A highly enjoyable wine.

2020 Y. Clerget Corton Le Rognet Grand Cru

Bottle
$5040.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Currently there is a significant generational shift happening in Burgundy, and these new names are seemingly better trained and better equipped to succeed than ever before. One of the most exciting of these new talents is Thibaud Clerget now heading up his family's Domaine Clerget. Based in Volnay, Thibaud represents the 28th generation of his family's winemaking history in Burgundy, and in a few brief vintages has created significant buzz. In true Burgundy tradition, Thibaud is equally as happy on the tractor in the vineyard as he is in the cellar, confident in taking on all aspects of the process. Since 2019 vintage the family holdings in Volnay and Meursault have been bolstered with further contract arrangements adding prime parcels such as Meursault Perrieres and Corton Grand Cru.
Other Reviews....
Thet 2020 Corton Le Rognets Grand Cru comes from contracted fruit, though Thibaut Clerget manages the vineyard himself. It includes 40% whole bunch with 50% new oak. It has a well-defined, quite taut bouquet with blackberry, briary and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, vivid red berry fruit laced with orange zest, leading to a lively and focused finish. Excellent. Drink 2025-2045.

Thibaut runs the viticulture in this vineyard then buys the grapes. 50% whole bunch 50% new wood. Mid crimson, showing a very toasty and lactic style of new wood. Very juicy behind, the whole bunch is almost hidden but I suspect stretches out the finish nicely, and the fruit is not too ripe. Finishes very well, as long as the oak calms down. Actually very long.

Yabby Lake’s second label, Red Claw, regularly delivers great value across the range. The 2023 season brough 'La Nina' weather conditions for the third year in a row.

As with the rest of the range, this mid-weighted pinot was fermented wild. Red cherry, raspberry and plum.

This should fill out nicely with a little patience. Drink by 2026.

This Nicks Secret Yarra Valley Pinot hails from a little-known boutique winery. Typically priced around $50 per bottle at the cellar door, it’s rarely found elsewhere.

Immensely complex and enticing, the bouquet shows dark berry, cured meat, porcini, bouquet garni, and elegant oak characters. The concentrated palate offers excellent depth and expansive mouthfeel, and silky texture and layers of grainy tannins wonderfully frame it.

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit
MV6 clone grown in Gruyere and matured in French barriques for 10 months. Red Currants, lingonberries and earthy rooibos tea. There is unfurling hibiscus and baked cherry pie. The palate spreads steadily with a wealth of acidity and powdery uniform tannins. There is underlying brown earth, cinnamon quills and cumin spice. A sweetness from fig hearts carries long on the finish. A vintage that threw a bit of all the weather extremes their way, this is a total success. Capturing abundant bright fruit and gentle graceful tannins with a core of savouriness. Drink now or cellar for up to 5-6 years. A wine that would show off served beside some pillows of gnocchi and sauteed mushrooms. Drink 2025-2031.

Shanteh Wale – WinePilot.com
Harvested from the Gruyere district of the Yarra Valley, there’s plenty to get excited about this wine, it’s nose singing pure Pinot aromas – crimson fruits in the raspberry and cherry zone, some poached rhubarb earthiness as well, a back seat note of spearmint as well, all of this tumbling together as you taste, French oak spice offering some savoury seasoning to a lively and energised palate. A strong primary Pinot game with enough secondary interest to turn an engaged Burgundy head.

This and La Cosette have virtually identical vinification the only difference an extra 3 days on skins and 7% new oak and this is 100% MV6 clone. Whether there was some difference in row selection or picking dates we don't know, other than the identical alcohol. Whatever, this is markedly more complex, with greater fruit depth and more savoury spice notes on the very long palate. Drink by 2027.

An obsession with a fickle varietal.

Once you experience it, you never forget it. For some wine lovers, Pinot Noir becomes an obsession. While promising one of world's greatest wine experiences, it can also deliver some of the most disappointing. What is it about Pinot that makes it so frustratingly variable? There are known quality factors which offer encouragement to winemakers. Micro-climates have been observed to play an important part in a successful matrix, particularly the diurnal temperature range. Pinot Noir is a little like Riesling, in the sense that it requires warm, but not overly hot days and cool nights to fully develop its maximum flavour potential. Sunshine hours, rainfall, time and rate of precipitation are all important. Countering this is the fact that the same clone will not respond to differences in micro-climate in the same way. Older vines make better wines. Creative and adaptive viticultural management and winemaking are essential. Buy Pinot Noir online. Any questions about our products or shipping? Please feel free to get in touch by calling us directly on 1800 069 295 or by emailing [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Browse and buy Pinot Noir online, spend more than $200 and you'll qualify for free delivery to most of Australia.
