Description
Delicate in the vineyard, finicky in the cellar—Pinot Noir is a heartbreaker. Yet when it’s done right, it produces some of the most beautiful and expressive wines in the world. It delivers complexity, elegance, perfume, and emotion like few other grapes can. That’s why winemakers fall for it—only to be crushed again and again by its demands.
This class is your ticket to exploring Pinot’s personality—its elegance, nuance, and undeniable charm—while uncovering why it tastes so different from Burgundy to Oregon, how oak or stainless steel shapes its style, and how climate, altitude, and soil leave their signature in every sip. From silky to savory, delicate to daring, you’ll discover just how expressive—and unpredictable—this heartbreak grape can be.
This is an advanced tasting using the WSET Level 3 SAT (Systematic Approach to Tasting), designed to challenge your palate, sharpen your descriptors, and deepen your analytical skills. Whether you’re preparing for certification or simply want to taste Pinot Noir like a pro, this session will expand your appreciation of the world’s most iconic white wine.
