Clos Henri Pinot Noir 2010
Clos Henri
Nestled under the southern foothills of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, Clos Henri Vineyard was meticulously established and is organically farmed by the famous Sancerre winegrowing family of Henri Bourgeois. Gathering 10 generations of know-how with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, the family has broadened their horizons and continues to craft exceptional terroir driven wines in New Zealand. From the three different soil types of the estate, partially comprised of a hill slope, the family uses the best of French and New World winegrowing techniques to capture the essence of Marlborough’s intense character and reveal the identity of the Clos Henri terroir.

"It is the most complete Pinot Noir which shows the best of all previous vintages. It has the density of the 2008 and the finesse and freshness of the 2009.” Damien Yvon, Winemaker

Tasted alongside the 2011 vintage this wine was more accessible with greater fruit intensity - it is clearly a better wine although the extra year in bottle may have helped. Red fruits including plum, cherry and a suggestion of raspberry with spice/anise and oak influence.
