La Brune (French for The Brunette) brings Burgundy to your door. The dream to create La Brune was born when the winemaker fell in love with Pinot Noir through a close friend and Vigneron Bruno Lorenzon of Domaine Lorenzon in Mercurey (Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy). Visits to Burgundy educated about finesse elegance restraint purity freshness and length. This led to the creation of a wine that is built upon many small complexities to produce something truly intricate. A wine that lures you right into the glass (instead of jumping out!) and makes you dream… The style behind La Brune Pinot Noir is exactly that. It is pure and wears no makeup. The wine is packed with complexities without being overpowering or in your face. It is austere and reserved held together with tightness length and freshness. It is elegant and has finesse. It reveals instead of conceals the bone structure of Pinot Noir grown on African soil. La Brune Pinot Noir is all about the journey of great wine. Great wine can define a moment in one's life. Great wine carries a message it teaches a lesson and one walks away a more fulfilled person.
