Marlborough — Pinot Country New Zealand's largest region by a distance, known abroad for sauvignon blanc and holding the country's biggest pinot noir planting almost as a side effect — still wine on the clay of the Southern Valleys, sparkling base… nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/marlborough/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K

Chambertin — Pinot Country Gevrey's grand cru on the mid-slope, and the name the village bolted onto its own in 1847 — the first commune in Burgundy to do it, and the start of every double-barrelled name on the Côte. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/vineyard/chambertin/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
Bien Nacido — Pinot Country Eight hundred acres on the Santa Maria bench, planted in 1969 and farmed row by row for whoever buys the rows.
