 The House of J.C. Le Roux, the first South African cellar to produce a Pinot noir Méthode Cap Classique, has just released a new vintage that is yet another fine example of their hand crafted MCC’s.   
Recognised for fine vintage Cap Classiques crafted through the time-honoured French method of bottle fermentation, the House of J.C. Le Roux has produced yet another superb classic with the new J.C. Le Roux Pinot Noir 2007. 
This vintage Cap Classique has attractive berry aromas with toast and yeast displaying a beautiful expression of Pinot noir fruit. It is pleasing and creamy on the palate with a crisp, clean finish. This fine MCC spent 2 years on the lees, which resulted in well-integrated flavours and a long, lingering and refined finish.  
“This Pinot noir’s elegant balance of fruit and youthfulness on the finish makes this a star buy for the summer and can be enjoyed with fish and red meat dishes.” says winemaker, Elunda Basson. 
The J.C. Le Roux Pinot Noir 2007 is available from around R90.00 at selected wine stores.
