Overview

• Premier Cru Burgundies anchor a collector-driven market for Pinot Noir, with a 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fetching US$558,000 at a Sotheby’s auction.
• Scarcity and cultivation challenges limit Pinot Noir to just 1% of Argentina’s vineyards, which grew only 1.3% between 2016 and 2025.
• Patagonia, especially Neuquén and Chubut, has emerged as Argentina’s emblematic Pinot region thanks to its diurnal temperature swings, sun exposure and wind.
• Domestic Pinot prices span from entry-level labels around 13,000 pesos to ultra-premium terroir- and clone-focused bottles exceeding 300,000 pesos.
• Precision enology initiatives, from clone-and-parcel trials to 100% Pinot sparkling wines aged up to 60 months, have driven critical acclaim such as 94 points from Tim Atkin.
