The Naturalys Pinot Noir is light, fruity and transparent. Furthermore, the organic certification and vegan status are not marketing additions. They are verified by external audit and printed on the label. As a result, the wine offers accountability that conventional production does not match. For those comparing light red options in Nairobi, this organic Pinot Noir offers genuine certification and low intervention integrity at a price point that undercuts comparable Burgundy or Loire Valley bottles.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby with a thin, watery rim. The nose is immediate and primary. Initially, red cherry, wild strawberry and crushed rose petal dominate. The cool site selection is evident. However, with 15 minutes in the decanter, dried thyme, wet earth and a faint graphite note emerge. Furthermore, pomegranate, redcurrant and a trace of dried herbs develop over time. On the palate, the wine is light to medium in weight. The entry is soft and juicy. Minimal tannin gives a supple, almost silky mouthfeel before the acidity provides a modest lift through the mid palate. Additionally, the stainless steel ageing leaves the fruit transparent and pure. Flavours of red cherry, cranberry and a hint of rhubarb carry through. The finish is brief and fresh. Red berry skin, dried herbs and a faint mineral trace that persists for 15 seconds. This wine is built for immediacy. Serve slightly chilled and drink within 12 months of release.
Food Pairing
At 12.5% ABV and with minimal tannin, this Pinot Noir pairs with lighter fare than most reds. Roast chicken with herbs and grilled salmon are therefore the strongest matches. The wine’s soft fruit and modest acidity sit cleanly against delicate protein without overwhelming it. Additionally, mushroom risotto, goat cheese tart and charcuterie work well at the table. The low structure means it will not fight spice or acidity. For a Nairobi evening where the occasion calls for something light and versatile, this is the bottle that delivers. A midweek dinner, a casual braai with white meat, or a gathering where one bottle must cover multiple palates. Serve at 14 to 16°C. Light decant 15 minutes before serving.

What You Need to Know:

What does this Pinot Noir taste like compared to Burgundy?
This is lighter and more primary than Burgundy. The Languedoc warmth gives riper, more immediate red fruit rather than the earthy, structured complexity of Côte de Nuits. It is consequently more approachable and less demanding. Think of it as a weeknight Pinot rather than a cellar candidate.
Is this too light for someone who usually drinks Cabernet Sauvignon?
If your reference is full bodied, tannic red, this will feel soft and fruity. The tannins are minimal and the body is light. It is consequently a different style entirely. Think of it as a summer red or a white wine alternative rather than a steak wine.
Should I drink this now or cellar it?
Drink now. This wine is built for immediacy and will not improve with age. The optimal window is 2025 to 2026. The natural cork allows minimal ageing but the primary fruit will fade rather than develop complexity.
What food works best with this Pinot Noir?
Roast chicken with herbs, grilled salmon and mushroom risotto are ideal. The low tannin and modest acidity suit delicate proteins and vegetable based dishes. Additionally, goat cheese tart and charcuterie work for casual occasions.
What does organic certification mean for this wine?
Organic certification prohibits synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers in the vineyard. Additionally, winemaking restrictions limit sulphur and artificial additives. The certification is audited externally. It provides accountability that conventional production does not match.
How does Languedoc Pinot Noir differ from Loire Valley or Burgundy?
The Languedoc is warmer than both. Consequently, the Pinot Noir achieves riper fruit and softer tannins. The Loire gives more acidity and herbal character. Burgundy offers more structure and earth. The Languedoc sits between the two in ripeness but lacks the complexity of cooler climates.
Does the natural cork affect freshness?
Natural cork allows minimal micro oxygenation, which is appropriate for a wine designed for consumption within 12 months. However, it carries a small risk of cork taint. Store horizontally in a cool, dark environment. For short term drinking, the closure is traditional and suitable.
What should I do if this bottle is out of stock?
Our customer service team can help you find a suitable alternative or source the product where possible. Reach out before your event.
How fast can I get this Pinot Noir delivered in Nairobi?
Nairobi orders placed before 9 PM qualify for same day delivery, typically completed within a 1 hour window. Free delivery applies to orders above KES 3,000 within Nairobi. Orders outside Nairobi are delivered nationwide across Kenya within 24 to 48 hours.

Description

A Pinot Noir from organic vineyards in the Languedoc, now available in Nairobi, Kenya. The 2024 vintage delivers red fruit and herbal freshness through minimal intervention winemaking and low sulphur.

The Naturalys line is Gérard Bertrand’s certified organic range. Every vineyard is farmed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers. The 2024 Pinot Noir is a rarity for the Languedoc. Pinot Noir is not native to the region. It demands cooler sites and careful canopy management to avoid overripeness in the Mediterranean heat. Consequently, this wine represents a deliberate choice to work against type rather than follow the regional default of Grenache and Syrah. The price point is the defining feature. At under KES 2,500, this is one of the most accessible organic Pinot Noirs on the Kenyan market. For buyers in Nairobi seeking a light, food friendly red with genuine organic certification and low intervention credentials, this is the practical choice at The Wine Box Kenya.

About The Winery

Gérard Bertrand took over from his father in 1987 at the age of 22. He has since built a portfolio of 16 estates across the Languedoc Roussillon, encompassing over 850 hectares. The Naturalys line was created to make organic and biodynamic wines accessible at everyday price points, without the premium that often accompanies certification.
The Languedoc itself is France’s largest wine region. Bertrand has been a leading advocate for organic and biodynamic conversion since the early 2000s, with a significant portion of his vineyards now certified. For buyers in Kenya, Naturalys represents an entry into Gérard Bertrand’s broader philosophy of sustainable, terroir driven wine. A label that delivers certification and conscience without the price barrier of his premium tiers.
