ADVERTISING: Advertorial — From Burgundy to Oregon, a love (hi)story about pinot noir
Laura Olson
While I was familiar with Pinot Noir as a popular red wine grape, I didn't fully appreciate the fascinating history and complexity of this diva grape. The more I learned, the more enthralled I became by Pinot Noir. It is one of the world's most beloved grapes, prized for its elegance, aromas, and flavors. This finicky grape has a long and storied history, originating in the Burgundy region of France where it has been cultivated since Roman times.
While Pinot Noir is now widely grown around the world, I've always believed its true zenith is in Burgundy where it profoundly expresses the concept of terroir like no other grape. As an enthusiast, I was already familiar with how terroir — the climate, soil, and human effort — imbues wines with a sense of place. However, through recent experiences with the grape I gained an even deeper appreciation for how magnificently Pinot Noir captures terroir, offering flavors and aromas that can vary widely depending on where it's grown.
