Juicy, Playful, and Unapologetically French
Bonjour! Ever met a Pinot that’s as cheeky as it is charming? Fat Bastard Pinot Noir 2024 is here to break the rules—delivering pure, juicy pleasure with every glass, no pretension required.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Nestled in the rolling landscapes of Languedoc, France, Fat Bastard Pinot Noir is the spirited creation of winemakers who believe wine should be fun, generous, and shared with friends. The Languedoc is a haven for small-batch winemakers, blessed with a tapestry of micro-climates that bring out the best in Pinot Noir. Here, ripe raspberries and dark cherries thrive under the Mediterranean sun, while cool nights preserve the grape’s signature freshness. Crafted with minimal intervention, this Pinot is all about letting the fruit shine—no heavy oak, just honest expression and a hint of smoky spice. The result? A wine that’s as plump and inviting as its name suggests.
What You'll Discover
Pour yourself a glass and watch the vibrant ruby colour catch the light.
The nose reveals ripe raspberries, dense dark cherries, and a whisper of cranberry, all wrapped in a subtle veil of smoky spice.
On the palate? Medium-bodied and silky, with juicy red fruit, lip-smacking acidity, fine tannins, and a finish that’s fresh, moreish, and delightfully persistent.
Perfect Pairings
Think duck confit, mushroom risotto, or a plate of charcuterie with friends. It’s equally magnificent with grilled salmon, roasted root vegetables, or a wedge of Brie. Reach for this Pinot anytime you want to add a little French flair to your table—especially when duck is on the menu!
