2021 Seleccion de Parcelas Los Primos Pinot Noir

Supple, fresh and concentrated with dense cherry and berry fruits, with nice spicy detail. This is a bold, ripe wine, full of fruit, but it’s also well structured with lots of stuffing. There’s some floral cherry fruit here, but also dense berry fruit and some spicy intensity. Unfurled, but full of promise.

Meaty, earthy, a little wild but with that wonderfully expressive, vibrant and dynamic signature Baettig fresh fruitedness – here, redcurrant, wild strawberry, loganberry and perhaps a hint of goji berry too. This is very Burgundian and one could almost be in Pommard or Volney – on very hallowed terroir – though the minerality is different, a little dustier and redder in its earthiness. There’s great poise and shape on the attack, with the wine a little slow to reveal its amplitude in the mouth, as if the sheer density and viscosity somehow slows its flow over the palate. Gracious with the finest-grained chewy, crumbly tannins on the finish.

Restrained, a subtle style of Pinot with aromas of red and dark fruits, floral notes with a hint of spice. Deliciously ripe with savoury complexity, woolly tannins and a persistent finish.
