Vin Rouge Pinot Noir Mégalithe - AOC Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Differential: This 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from old vines (“Vieilles Vignes”), perfectly embodies the soul of the Neuchâtel lakeside terroir. Its name, Mégalithe, combines the Greek words Mega (“Great”) and Lithos (“Stone”), referring to the majestic granite blocks hidden beneath the limestone hills—a geological legacy left by the last Würm glaciation. It also pays tribute to the ancient lake-dwelling civilizations that erected the menhirs still standing as witnesses to the region’s rich history. A rare and distinguished wine that reflects elegance, tradition and the purest expression of winemaking expertise.
Contents: Red wine produced exclusively from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes grown on old vineyards. The combination of deep-rooted vines and a unique terroir where limestone overlays granite bedrock imparts exceptional complexity, aristocratic structure and a refined mineral expression of fruit.
How to drink: On the palate, it reveals remarkable elegance, depth and silky texture. The old vines contribute noble, finely polished tannins, while the freshness of the lakeside terroir brings vibrancy and balance. The result is a long, refined and memorable finish.
Harmonization: An outstanding companion for haute cuisine. It pairs beautifully with refined game dishes such as stuffed pheasant or quail, beef tenderloin with red fruit reduction, black truffle risotto, and medium-aged French or Swiss cheeses.
