Special characteristic
  • Contains sulphites

Meticulous selection of hand-picked grapes. Destemming followed by fermentation on the skins for three weeks in open-top oak fermenters and vats, then gentle pressing. Subsequent maturation for 18 months in small barrels made from German and French oak. No filtering and or any other treatment.

Intense and very fine nose of red and dark berries. Powerful, complex palate with grippy tannins and mineral tension. This Pinot is already blessed with immense character.

The vines, which were planted in 1967, are situated on the hill that slopes south towards Wissembourg in Alsace.
