in the vineyard : Producing outstanding Pinot Noir wines requires a delicate touch. Excellent examples of Pinot noir are few and far between and are created largely from very special terroir sites. These locations represent that unique combination of soil and climate which exists in only a handful of places where the right combination and balance provides the perfect expression of this elusive grape.

in the cellar : The Tête de Cuvee label presents our cameo selection of the top twelve Pinot Noir barrels from any particular vintage. This is our winemakers’ opportunity to showcase the very best from certain vintages – understanding that Bouchard Finlayson Tête de Cuvee is not produced at every vintage.

2012 was a very fine vintage year. A warm but mild growing season producing neat, top quality grapes which only needed to be guided by careful winemaking to result in an enviable result. The further caring and maturation in quality first fill Burgundian barrels has ameliorated this opportunity to show its best.
