The Peter Michael Le Moulin Rouge Pinot Noir Magnum 1998 is a notable expression from the renowned Peter Michael Winery, established in 1982 and recognised for its commitment to producing high-quality wines in California’s Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. This wine originates from a meticulously maintained single-vineyard, characterised by its unique gold ridge soil and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The Pinot Noir grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation with native yeasts, matured in French oak barrels. The 1998 vintage reveals complex layers of red fruit, subtle earthiness and a characteristic minerality, with a structure that suggests notable ageing potential.
