Type: Red

This micro-domaine red Burgundy is a pure pinot noir blend sourced from three small vineyard plots throughout Pommard. Winemaker Jonathan Purcell selects fruit from low-yielding, mature vines in Les Noizons, Croix Blanche, and Poisot. The winemaking features a ten-day semi-carbonic vinification with whole clusters inside neutral stainless steel tanks using native vineyard yeasts. The sugars are finished entirely in old French oak barrels, where the liquid undergoes a natural nine-month maturation process before an unfiltered bottling.

It pours a clear ruby color with a pale rim, releasing a delicate nose of black raspberry, cassis, and fresh field flowers. A sleek, light-to-medium-bodied frame pairs fresh fruit profiles with an underlying, perfumed complexity. The old-vine concentration provides a serious structural baseline across mid-palate volume without feeling heavy. A clean line of natural acidity runs through the center, keeping the fluid mouthfeel thoroughly refreshed. It concludes with a long, dry, and mineral finish.

Winery

Vin Noé is Jonathan Purcell’s small Burgundy project, established after he moved from San Diego to study wine in Beaune in 2012. Experience with David Croix and Philippe Pacalet, followed by vineyard work at Domaine de Montille and Domaine Matrot, helped shape his approach. An early collaboration with Chris Santini led to the first Vin Noé bottlings in 2017. Jonathan later took on vineyards around Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet from Jean-Jacques Morel and moved into Morel’s former cellar in the hamlet of Gamay in 2021.

The project combines those carefully farmed parcels with purchased fruit, allowing a range that extends from more approachable cuvées to specific Burgundian sites. Since the initial vintage, Jonathan has made the wines without added sulfites, putting close attention to grapes, fermentation and handling at the center of the work. Pattaya, Amour Vache and Rêve Américain show different sides of that range. Together, they offer a personal view of Burgundy from a grower whose path began abroad but whose day-to-day work is now rooted in the region’s vineyards.
