Le Champ des Etoiles is our most popular French Pinot, thanks to its vibrant red berry flavors and silky texture. But its winemaker, Mark Hoddy, thought he could craft something even more delicious using top grapes from the south of France. Le Secret des Etoiles is the strawberry-inflected, barrel aged result.
Why the south of France? Well, because Burgundy can’t have all the fun.
And because the sunny Languedoc region is home to some seriously exceptional grapes…if you know where to look. (Which is exactly why top Burgundy houses like Louis Latour and Bouchard Aîné et Fils have headed south.)
In the glass, the wine will greet you with aromas of intensely ripe strawberry, cherry and wild herbs, with touches of toasty vanilla spice from the wine’s time in Burgundian barrels. The palate is silky and beautifully rounded, overflowing with more red berry flavors across a long, elegant finish.
Tie those characteristics with the wine’s vibrant acidity, and it’s well suited to everything from rsoated vegetables to firm fish to oven-roasted poultry.
