Bodega Chacra, founded by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, is redefining Patagonian Pinot Noir with an emphasis on biodynamics, minimal intervention, and pure terroir expression. Their 2023 ‘Sin Azufre’ is a no-sulfur-added Pinot Noir that showcases the raw energy of the region’s old vines and cool-climate conditions. Fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfiltered, it is a beautifully transparent expression of Pinot Noir, untouched by additives or manipulation.

Fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate leap from the glass, accompanied by floral notes of rose petal and a hint of crushed herbs. The palate is bright and juicy, with ultra-fine tannins and a mineral-laced finish that reflects the stony soils of Patagonia. Compared to richer, oak-influenced New World Pinots, Sin Azufre is all about immediacy and vibrancy, offering an unadorned yet complex take on the grape.

Best served slightly chilled, this 2023 Sin Azufre is a fantastic match for roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or charcuterie. While designed for youthful drinking, its balance and purity suggest it could evolve beautifully over the next few years. A must-try for lovers of natural, site-driven Pinot Noir.

Jean Marc Roulot was at dinner at Guillaume d’Angerville’s place with their friend Piero, the founder of Argentina's culty Chacra winery. Piero mentioned, while discussing his Patagonian terroir, his desire to try making a white cuvée in Argentina.

Now, Roulot is one of the best Chardonnay growers on the planet, so he’d be a good guy to chat up about making white wines of terroir. But he doesn’t seem a likely candidate to jet off to Patagonia and start making Argentinian Chardonnay.

But Piero had found a unique terroir in Patagonia and Roulot was intrigued. Intrigued enough to propose working with him, and when Roulot visited he found, in his words, a “magical place” where “nature is so strong.” This was an opportunity to do something new: work with a friend, “not trying to make a copy of Burgundy in Argentina—totally different. Trying to produce a good Chardonnay in Argentina.”

And that’s what they’ve done. Piero’s magical terroir and Roulot’s Chardonnay touch come together to make an amazing, totally new white wine. The Chacra Mainque Chardonnay comes from three plots with sand over mineral soils with river rocks and limestone. Desert-like weather (hot days, cold nights) make ripe fruit with good acidity.
