2011 Diversité Pinot Noir
The Diversité cuvee showcases a unique and diverse range of characteristics that reflect its varied soil, sunlight exposure, and clonal blend. It is sourced from 4 blocks on our estate vineyard, primarily covering the Northern end, containing 7 clones – Dijon-113, -114, -115, -667, -777, Pommard, and a few rows of the Swiss clone Mariafeld. The latter in particular lends natural smoke and spice notes to the wine, which have become a definitive quality in the cuvee. The soil variation for Diversité ranges from heavy broken volcanic basalt on the Northwestern block of Dijon-667, to the more lush Nekia soil of the Northeastern block of Dijon-114.
