Pinot Noir AC 2022

Wine description for Pinot Noir AC 2022 from Domaine Albert Mann

General information

This Pinot Noir from Alsace epitomises the biodynamic philosophy of Domaine Albert Mann, a historic partnership of two winegrowing families with a winemaking tradition dating back to the 17th century. The grapes come from the 25 hectares in Wettolsheim, which are cultivated with meticulous care.

Colour & appearance

In the glass, it presents an intense, powerful ruby red colour with a dark, almost impenetrable core - a visual announcement of the concentration that this wine has to offer.

Nose

The flavour unfolds a precise Burgundy bouquet with remarkable intensity. Dark cherries and wild berries (especially blackberries and blueberries) dominate, underpinned by a fine spiciness of juniper and cloves. Subtle notes of undergrowth and forest floor give the wine an additional dimension that impressively reflects the hot, dry 2022 vintage in Alsace.

Palate

The palate reveals a Pinot Noir with impressive structure and density. The juicy, dark red fruit is accompanied by a moderating, well-integrated acidity that gives the wine balance. The polished, silky tannins are finely interwoven and allow the wine to glide elegantly over the palate. The finish is warm, lingering and characterised by hedonistic fruitiness - a reflection of the vintage, which fully shows its power and maturity here.

Food pairing suggestions

This Pinot Noir full of character harmonises perfectly with Roast duck breast, Game dishes with cranberry sauce or matured soft cheese. Also to Mushroom risotto with truffles, it offers an excellent accompaniment.

Special features

The 2022 vintage is a remarkably expressive representative of the Alsatian terroir, translating the warmth of the vintage into power and richness without losing the elegance typical of the variety. A outstanding ambassador for the potential of Pinot Noir in Alsace, which has both drinking maturity and development potential.
