WINE OF THE WEEK: Éminence de Bijou Pinot Noir 2023, Haute Vallée de l'Aude, Languedoc, France

If you didn’t know, you might be hard-pushed to say where this Pinot Noir comes from – the upper Aude Valley is not the best known of wine regions – but you would be having a bad day if you didn’t recognise the grape variety. It’s Pinot Noir to a T, with glistening cherry fruit and silky palate.
