Vigneron — Pinot Country A grower who makes the wine. Not a winemaker who buys fruit and not a farmer who sells it — the word insists on both halves of the job. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/vigneron/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Where this comes from — Pinot Country Every fact on this site points at something you can open yourself. This page lists what those things are, what each one costs to use, and where the gaps sit. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/story/free-to-use/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
Terroir — Pinot Country The claim that a wine tastes of where it grew — soil, slope, aspect, weather, and the habits of the people farming it. In France it is also a legal argument, because appellations are drawn on it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/terroir/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Brett — Pinot Country Brettanomyces, a yeast that lives in old barrels and makes phenols people describe as barnyard, plaster or clove. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/wine-fault-brett/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Cru — Pinot Country A growth: a vineyard, or a class of vineyards, recognised for what it yields. Grand cru and premier cru rank the ground in Burgundy; in Bordeaux the same word ranks the château instead. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/cru/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Events — Pinot Country Auctions, celebrations, barrel tastings, the weekend a valley opens its doors. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/events/ · 19-Sep-2026 · 25K
Green harvest — Pinot Country Cutting unripe bunches onto the ground in summer so the vine ripens fewer. Yield control with secateurs, after the vine has already set more fruit than the grower wants. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/green-harvest/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Hand harvest — Pinot Country Picking into small crates by hand, so the bunch arrives whole and the cellar decides what to do with it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/hand-harvest/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Malolactic fermentation — Pinot Country A bacterial conversion, not a yeast one: lactic acid bacteria turn sharp malic acid into softer lactic acid and let off CO₂. Nearly every red pinot noir goes through it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/malolactic/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
Duck — Pinot Country The pairing pinot noir gets asked about most: dark meat, a thick fat cap, and enough savoury weight to meet a wine with little tannin. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/pairing/duck/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
