Francine & François Dhumes Sarment Pepper Pinot Noir 2025

Country: France

Region: Auvergne

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Pinot Noir

Based in Orcet, in the Puy-de-Dôme region, Francine and François Dhumes embody an artisanal approach to winemaking, using carefully selected organic grapes, respecting lunar cycles, slow maceration, zero additives, discreet aging in old barrels, and a constant search for balance between expressing the terroir and respecting the fruit. The estate vinifies both its own grapes and selected fruit from the Ardeche, Beuajolais and Auvergne regions, championing an ethic of "living wine" that expresses the winemaker's hand, the uniqueness of the vintage, and the depth of the volcanic soil.

100% Pinot Noir, whole bunch fermentation in fiberglass, pressed after two weeks. A refreshing, punchy and bold product of this region's volcanic soils and hillside terroir.
