Comtesse Marion Pinot Noir France 2025

The rolling hills of Vias along the Mediterranean coast is the perfect place to grow meaningful, exciting Pinot Noir that doesn’t break the bank. The benefit of coastal breezes as we’ve seen time and again are essential for building beautiful natural acidity. But then there’s also the rocky volcanic soil that Comtesse Marion is treated to in the Languedoc region. That gives the wine a depth of flavors and great concentration but without too much weight. The vines are also all over 30 years in age, an advantage over their peers for sure. This is a one-of-a-kind producer who make some of the best values in all of France.

The newly-released 2025 is a home-run for Pinot Noir lovers. It’s so fresh and bright, a high-toned Pinot Noir with impeccable balance. Bright red fruit, subtle earthy notes and a, silky smooth texture. The kind of wine that makes you wonder how they’re charging this little for something this good.
