A vinicultural commune is a collective studying the farming and winemaking of grapes (think of it as just about the greatest summer camp ever).  And this lucky Pinot Noir hails from one of four vinicultural communes in Auxerrois, where the terroir offers a wine of great freshness and purity. 

It is light in color, wonderfully aromatic, fruity and refreshing.  We get bright, tart currants, cranberries, and cherries, alongside tons of acidity, earthy spice and light chalky tannins on the finish.
