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.

Planted in 2006 on a south-facing site of white sand and shale surrounded by forest, the 2024 Pinot Noir Le Pre Du Col is more serious in structure and more savory in profile. Black cherries, cinnamon candy, and spice unfold from the glass. Medium-bodied, it has refined, suede-like tannins, lovely approachability, and outstanding elegance throughout. Give it another couple of years in bottle. Drink 2027-2047.

"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."
— Coutney Humiston, 2026
