A blend of old vines aged in French oak, the 2023 Alsace Pinot Noir Red offers supple texture and an abundance of fruit flavors, led by bright notes of sour cherry that evoke a joyful, Burgundy-like character. On the palate, the wine shows impressive substance, with lively, tangy fruit and silky tannins. The oak is discreet, giving structure without overshadowing the freshness and finesse. Beautifully balanced, this is a standout expression of Pinot Noir—at a remarkably fair price. Rated 93/100 by Parker. |
