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.
The aromas on the nose are relatively dark and warm, rounded off by fine herbal characters, red fruit and elegant oak notes. This is a compact, structured, dense Pinot Noir, endowed with lovely sense of ripeness as well as considerable tension.
The vines, which were planted in 1967, are situated on the hill that slopes south towards Wissembourg in Alsace.
