Location information
\nOn the noble soil of the Grand Cru Pfersigberg, where limestone and sandstone define the landscape, venerable 40-year-old vines thrive. They provide us with this incomparable drop with a modest quantity of 35 hl\/ha.
\nProcessing
\nOur winemakers decided to promote the philosophy of infusion instead of extraction for this wine. The spontaneous fermentation process took place in tanks with 35% whole grapes, after which the wine matured in barriques for 17 months. A malolactic acid reduction in the spring gave the final touch, with no fining.
\nOptics
\nThe ruby hue of this noble drop tends towards violet, lightening slightly at the edges.
\nScent
\nDieser 2019er Pinot Noir, liebevoll als \u201cGrand P\u201d bezeichnet, erweist sich als ein erdiger Wein von gro\u00dfer Komplexit\u00e4t, der sich am besten in einer Karaffe entfaltet. Mit zunehmender Sauerstoffzufuhr nimmt man Noten von dunklen Brombeeren, schwarzen Kirschen, Cassis und Holunder wahr. Eine Mischung aus Waldlaub, Tr\u00fcffel, Tabak, dunkler Erde und Holzrauch rundet das Bouquet ab, welches sich mit einer Eindringlichkeit offenbart, die f\u00f6rmlich eine Einladung zum Eintauchen darstellt. Man k\u00f6nnte ihm ohne weiteres erliegen.
\nTaste
\nOn the palate, it impresses with its powerful fruitiness and striking acidity and tannin structure, which give it a certain youthful freshness. It proves once again what outstanding Pinot Noirs Alsace can produce - wines that can easily compete with the great Burgundies. To savour it to the full in its youthful phase, sufficient aeration and decanting are recommended; even a longer prior opening does no harm. It is perfect as an accompaniment to aromatic and intense dishes.
\nAlternatives to the food recommendations
\nAs an accompaniment, we recommend delicate chanterelles roasted in butter and garlic, pink roasted fillet of venison loin with cranberry and thyme jus, and juicy rib eye steak straight from the grill, served with a classic b\u00e9arnaise and crispy roast potatoes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
