Ournac Fr\u00e8res Pinot Noir is a delicious expression of the elevated styles of wine in the Minervois in Languedoc. \u00a0One is enticed by the delightful label which is somewhat reminiscent of sketches found in Dickensian novels. It was however designed at the end of the twentieth century. A sign in the corner mentions \u2018molasses of 1st quality\u2019 \u2013 this is a product that results from the refining of sugar cane and beets in order to produce alcohol. This wine does not contain any molasses!<\/p>\n
Ournac Fr\u00e8res Pinot Noir is a great all-rounder, working equally well for both light cold cuts and spiced dishes as well as pasta. It\u2019s an indispensable wine for one\u2019s short-term wine cellar (or cupboard under the stairs).<\/p>\n
This wine has been aged for 10 months and has derived much of its solid character from the oak barrels, although it lacks the over-tannin element which sometimes spoils a good red. This has added much to its depth and complexity. Ournac Fr\u00e8res Pinot Noir is another great-value wine from this oft-overlooked region of France.<\/p>\n
