Thierry Richoux 2012 Irancy Ode à Odette Pinot Noir
Crafted with reverence for tradition and crafted to celebrate Thierry Richoux’s grandmother Odette—born in 1912—this exceptional Irancy red wine embodies the soul of Burgundy’s Pinot Noir terroir. Hailing from France’s renowned Burgundy region, this bottle offers a sophisticated drinking experience for discerning wine lovers seeking depth and complexity.

Aged meticulously for three years in French oak demi-muid barrels, this wine undergoes a slow maturation process that enhances its layered flavors without overpowering its natural essence. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, it retains pure authenticity, appealing to those who prioritize purity and minimal intervention in winemaking.

On the palate, the 2012 vintage reveals a velvety texture framed by powdery tannins, balancing richness with elegance. Aromas of dark chocolate and ripe cassis intertwine with bright blood orange and cherry notes, creating a harmonious blend of fruit-forward vibrancy and earthy sophistication. Its full-bodied structure and penetrating finish make it an ideal choice for collectors or enthusiasts looking for a cellar-worthy Pinot Noir that rewards patience as it evolves over time.

While this wine’s bold character suggests cellaring potential for future enjoyment, its current development already showcases remarkable concentration and depth—perfect for pairing with hearty game dishes or aged cheeses at special occasions. For fans of Burgundy’s classic expressions seeking a bold alternative to lighter styles, this Irancy stands out as a testament to artisanal craftsmanship and terroir-driven excellence.

At 13% alcohol by volume, it delivers a refined drinking experience without excessive heaviness. Whether you’re exploring rare French Pinot Noirs or searching for a standout bottle for your collection, Thierry Richoux’s Ode à Odette offers unmatched quality and heritage in every glass.
