由 Romana Echensperger MW 講解 Pinot Noir
Pinot noir 係 Devil's Wine (HAHAHA)
Big bunch grapes mean high yield
Shoulder on grape mean more acidity
Dijon Clone 細number mean old version, 大number mean new version (eg 777, 114, 828 etc)
Pinot noir and Syrah(Deep color, but not much tannin) : with stem fermentation, stem more robust tannin, menthol, absorb color
Yeast active at 15Deg C
Concrete Vessel, even temperature spread
Dont buy Roussillon Pinot Noir
Kaiserstuhl (German Region) : Flinty, Volcanic Rock
Kastanienbush GG vineyard
Botrytis damage pinot color
Graubunden: Slate
NZ Marlborough fruit forward type, fruit aromatic, entry level
NZ Martinborough subtle, similar to Burgundy Pinot noir
Oregon: important winery -> Willamette
Carneros clay soil, low rainfall, cool breeze, more layer
Santa Barbara, microclimate, cool breeze, cooler than russian river
Vougeot, limestone
Chambolle Musigny : Silky Tannin
Gevrey Chambertin : Man Tannin
Pommard : Dusty???
