Chevonne Ball and Jason Lett after finishing assisting with the Pinot Meunier pick 2020.
When asked what I wanted the wine to taste like,
I transported myself back to 2009 when I spent my first Christmas in France; I spent it with the Firadets, my soon-to-be French/American besties, in the hamlet of Quenoche in the Northwest corner of France. The matriarch, Lulu, filled our bellies with the most delectable, multi-coursed, rustic French country cuisine.
With snow on the ground, a fire burning in the hearth, and a heavenly aromatic hen roasting with mushrooms foraged from the surrounding forest wafting in the air, it was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime sensory experience. Never to be duplicated in exactly quite the same way again, but the feeling would remain.
I set out to make a wine that went with that.
Pinot Meunier pick October 2020
Because of Eyries’ commitment to healthy soils, this wine was produced with minimal intervention or manipulation.
100% whole cluster, pigeage aux pieds, and gentle punch downs, then aged for over two years in a neutral oak barrel from 1983; this wine is rustic. Herbaceous, dark berries, deep cherry, forest floor, and fresh earth.
Let it join a meal shared with loved ones, preferably homemade.

“I love that it is not “Eyrie Pinot Meunier,” and at the same time, it is. Yes, it has the fruitiness and savor of the red Pinot Meunier we produce consistently, but the whole cluster element brings in a whole spectrum of savory, lifted, sauvage earthiness to compliment the fruit in a way that is totally new to our cellar. ”
