Bougrier, Olivier Dubois Cuvée Prestige Pinot Noir, Loire, France 2024

Easy drinking and bottled under screwcap to preserve freshness, this Loire Pinot Noir is unoaked, ageing for six months in stainless steel before bottling. It's fairly commercial in style, but it's juicy and fruit-forward, with pretty aromas and flavours of cherry, redcurrant and red berry, and a sweet spice. Decent everyday drinking, served slightly chilled. Mix-six price: £9
