An excellent Alsatian Pinot Noir that even Robert Parker named one of the best in the region!
More infoThe Pinot Noir which makes up this cuvée comes from a clay-limestone soil which is rich in iron oxide. After 18 months’ élevage in foudres, this wine stands out thanks to the elegance and delicacy of its aromas. On the palate, notes of red fruit, sweet spices and flowers adorn a fine, silky texture.
