Domaine de Beudon Pinot Noir 2019

Perched high above the Rhône Valley at nearly 900 metres, Domaine de Beudon is one of the most singular vineyards in Switzerland — accessible only by cable car or a steep footpath. This 2019 Pinot Noir, from biodynamic vines rooted in glacial moraine and slate, captures the mountain’s cool tension and rarefied purity. The nose weaves alpine herbs, crushed raspberries, and rose petals, while the palate is taut and mineral-driven, its red fruit lifted by fine acidity and a whisper of savoury spice. Elegant yet deeply expressive of its vertiginous site, it’s a wine of grace and altitude.
