N° 22 Pinot Noir 2021

Each JCB wine is known by a number. And each number has deep significance for Jean-Charles Boisset, the collection’s creator and namesake. N°22 represents the number eleven twice, and 11 is Jean-Charles’ lucky number. N°22 was chosen because this wine has twice the intensity, grandeur and charisma of most Pinot Noirs.

This jewel-toned crimson Pinot Noir begins with the enchanting allure of dark fruits accompanied by fragrant earthy hints. Each sip exposes a tapestry of flavors, showcasing intricate baking spices, exquisitely ripe plums and strawberries and cherries. The finish is marked by a silky-smooth minerality that resonates with the enduring intensity of its well-defined tannins. This is an undeniably extraordinary pinot noir, brimming with intensity and finesse that continues long after the final sip.
