What reviewers say
“An oaked Pinot from Languedoc, for ten dollars— called “Le Grand”? I’m pleasantly surprised. Tastes much more refined and mature than it actually is— and probably has the subtle oaking to thank for that.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A very distinctive and immediately enjoyable Pinot Noir, this is a very juicy, raspberryish, cherryish wine with hints of strawberry and oak and a refreshing note of pepper.
Le Grand Noir Pinot Noir is a red from Pays d'Oc, France. It sits in the under $15 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $12.99.
The calibrated figure is built from 5,040 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 5,290 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 146 other reds from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Le Grand Noir Pinot Noir lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Frankreich (147 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 5,040.
