This magnificent 16-acre marine sedimentary shallow sandy soil terroir is owned by the Hill family and farmed by Bergstrom Wines in partnership since its inception. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from this amazing site are known for their depth of spice, rare woods, incense and oceanic salinity aromatics and for their rich textural layers of fruited spice and earthy minerality. These are seriously age worthy wines.

Blueberry and blue plum lead, layered with Chinese five spice, incense, rare woods, and dark chocolate. Silky and finely textured, it shows notes of forest floor, matsutake, sweet spice, and tobacco box, framed by fine tannins and impressive finesse.

"Aromas of red fruit, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, Bing cherries, bergamot, wild strawberries and turned soil. Very pure and delicious, with broad, mouth-filling tannins and succulent acidity. Juicy, balanced and drinkable now, but will evolve for years. Drink or hold."

"A dusting of autumnal spice combines with dried roses and violet pastille as the 2024 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col Vineyard blossoms in the glass. It is silky smooth, with tantalizing acidity and polished red and blue fruits that flow across a sensation of liquid stone. A web of fine-grained tannins flexes on the senses as the 2024 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col Vineyard finishes with echoes of licorice and tart black cherry that linger impossibly long. While already enjoyable, the best is yet to come."
