Volcans d’Auvergne Puy de Dome Pinot Noir Magma 2022

Auvergne is a part of the much-loved Loire Valley, but it's so under the radar that it rarely makes it into the conversation about Loire Valley wines. This is exactly why you'll find amazing prices! Want the best deals? Go to the places nobody is talking about. 

The landscape here is other-worldly: cratered volcanoes, long dormant, covered in vibrant green forest dot the skyline. It's an impressive view, and the volcanic soils of this UNESCO World Heritage Site make for some seriously delicious wines.

This Pinot Noir is silky and fruit-forward thanks to fermentation and aging all in stainless rather than wood. Fleshy with bright acidity and notes of strawberry, cherry, pomegranate, and mineral, it's a delicious French Pinot from an under-the-radar region that will shine at the table — and for a great price.
