2023 Domaine Yui A2 Pinot Noir

Domaine Yui A2 is the estate’s Pinot Noir from the A‑block vineyard in Yoichi, Hokkaido, expressing delicate red fruit and northern precision. Farmed and vinified with a restrained, Burgundian mindset, it highlights transparency of fruit over extraction. The nose typically shows wild strawberry, red cherry, and gentle floral notes, with a hint of spice and earth adding complexity. On the palate, A2 is lithe and finely framed, with bright acidity, light tannins, and a subtle mineral line. It suits refined pairings such as grilled duck, roast chicken, or simply seasoned Japanese cuisine.
