Alsace Pinot Noir AOC - Schieferkopf

Tasting notes

Appearance: light garnet colour, tiled reflections.

Nose: Slightly reductive nose, the reduction is beautiful with notes of fresh lees slightly grilled, gamey. The agitation reveals floral notes of peony.

Palate: Subtle attack, fresh and delicate on the palate. Discreet tanin, finish with notes of red berries with hints of undergrowth.

Sommelier's advice: Subtle, delicate mouth, the structure is silky with a nice length.

Grape variety/varieties: Pinot noir.

Harvest: The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity.

Soil: Present on a soil with a finer texture and deeper than the neighbouring plot Fels (more than 30cm).

Vinification: The vinification begins with a total destemming. The fermentation is done with indigenous yeasts. The wine macerates in vats for 3 weeks. A light filtration is done before bottling.

Ageing: The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
