This exceptional sparkling wine is produced on the steep Moselle, where slate terraces slope down to the river and the art of winemaking has been cultivated for centuries. Clemens Busch, known for his uncompromising biodynamic approach and precise Riesling interpretations, surprises us here with a rarely encountered speciality: a Pinot Noir sparkling wine Brut Nature<\/strong>which combines the finesse of the red Burgundy grape with the mineral rigour of the Moselle landscape.<\/p>\n Die Mosel, prim\u00e4r Riesling-Territorium, zeigt hier eine ihrer verborgenen Facetten. Auf den kargen Schieferb\u00f6den, die tags\u00fcber die Sonnenw\u00e4rme speichern und nachts langsam abgeben, entwickelt der Sp\u00e4tburgunder eine bemerkenswerte Pr\u00e4zision. Die Bezeichnung \u201cBrut Nature\u201d verr\u00e4t bereits die kompromisslose Herangehensweise: kein Dosage-Zusatz nach der Flascheng\u00e4rung, nichts, was die pure Ausdruckskraft des Weins und seiner Herkunft verschleiern k\u00f6nnte.<\/p>\n The nose presents a fascinating mixture of red wild berries<\/strong> and Sour cherries<\/strong>underpinned with fine yeast notes and a subtle allusion to Brioche<\/strong>. With increasing aeration, nuances of white pepper<\/strong> and a hint of Shale mineral<\/strong> - that unmistakable signature of the Moselle, which is not denied even in this sparkling wine.<\/p>\n On the palate, the sparkling wine captivates with its Tight structure<\/strong> and Vibrating acid<\/strong>which harmonises perfectly with the fine, persistent perlage. The 2017 vintage, characterised by a certain warmth, gives the wine a subtle depth without compromising its elegance. The fruit is precisely characterised: redcurrants<\/strong> and unripe strawberries<\/strong> are framed by a fine bitter note and a crystalline minerality. The low residual sugar content emphasises the seriousness of this sparkling wine - a sparkling wine that makes you think, not just celebrate.<\/p>\n This sparkling wine calls for culinary partners of similar precision: Oysters<\/strong> with a squeeze of lemon, Salmon sashimi<\/strong> or a Veal carpaccio<\/strong> with truffle oil would elegantly accompany the multi-layered structure of this wine. Also to a Goat's cheese from the Moselle<\/strong> a fascinating dialogue could develop.<\/p>\n While the sparkling wine is already a pleasure to drink, its structural integrity points to a remarkable future. Maturity potential<\/strong> towards. The next five years should bring additional complexity and an even deeper integration of the components - a testament to the quality of craftsmanship and depth that Pinot Noir can also achieve on the Moselle if it falls into the right hands.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terroir and craftsmanship<\/h3>\n
