Perdue is Xiaopu's Pinot Noir series. The name comes from Génération Perdue which stands for the Lost Generation. Ian's sense of loss certainly can't compare to Hemingway's, but Pinot Noir certainly does leave me bewildered. Too much maturity seems vulgar, too little tannin lacks power. Using more stems adds sharpness, while not using new oak barrels loses its elegance.
For Xiao Pu, blending is paramount—the style is recreated through assemblage. Everything before that is just building the palette of materials. So what is Xiao Pu’s Perdue Pinot Noir? It’s the work of someone who loves Pinot Noir, operating under real constraints, using the most natural methods possible to recreate, in the glass, the beauty of Pinot that lives in the mind.
J stands for young, indicating a blend from oak barrels with richer fruit flavors. Bright and clear, it is best enjoyed slightly chilled. A blend spanning multiple years; 21 is just a code name.

 

perdue是小圃黑皮诺系列葡萄酒的名字。这个名字来自Génération Perdue也就是The Lost Generation迷惘的一代。我的迷惘当然没法和海明威的相比。但黑皮诺是让我迷惘的。
多一分成熟显得俗气,少一分单宁又缺了力道。使用梗的比例高一些多了棱角,而不用新桶又没了贵气。

这次发售的perdue总共有4款:perdue.J、perdue21.1、perdue 21.2、perdue 21.3。
J代表年轻,是果味更丰富的桶的混酿。明亮清晰,稍微冰镇后适合大口大口喝。
不加酸和单宁调整结构、自然发酵、自然苹乳、旧桶陈年。跨年份调配,21只是个代号。
About the Producer

Xiaopu started in 2017, and Ian Dai might be the first person in China to transition from a sommelier to a winemaker. The initial idea was: what would Ningxia's grapes be like if he made the wine? Natural fermentation, no adjustment of acidity or tannins, aging in old barrels, achieving higher complexity through blending, making a wine with better drinkability, standing in opposition to the rich, full-bodied, boring wines with heavy barrel flavors. To this day, these remain his winemaking principles.

His love for wines extends to the making of wine in new regions. Now, Xiaopu is engaged in nomadic winemaking in Ningxia-Qingtongxia, Gansu-Tianshui, Hebei-Huailai, Inner Mongolia-Tuoketuo, Yunnan-Deqin, Sichuan-Xiaojin, moving with the grapes. Not being bound by land, he has the freedom to try more possibilities in winemaking. At the same time, he can bring pioneering styles to China.

Wine is the result of collaboration between people and nature. Making delicious, easy-to-drink wine relies on principles and also requires meticulous cultivation. Xiaopu started collaborating with small-scale grape growers, promoting more land-friendly scientific management methods, fair procurement, establishing stronger connections with people and land, exploring "slow wine," allowing deliciousness to continue over time.

In Ningxia, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Inner Mongolia, he has started experimenting with planting test fields, striving to match each region with the "right" varieties, extending the possibilities of terroir.
