This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grown on Scherwiller's gravelly soils (alluvial cone of the Villé Valley), which are very poor in clay. The vineyard employs rigorous trellising.
In the cellar, the grapes are pressed directly, followed by minimal settling (low-intervention débourbage) and a loose diatomaceous earth filtration. No sulphur is added at any stage. There is no liqueur d'expédition; at disgorgement, the bottles are topped with the same wine. Fermentation and ageing on full fermentation lees in stainless-steel tanks last about one year, followed by 21 months of bottle ageing on the lees
Ratings
Oh dear, it seems this wine and my palate haven't had their rendezvous yet. Maybe I was letting the wine breathe, or perhaps I was just taking another sip elsewhere. 😉
Fear not, dear wine enthusiast! This bottle's moment in the spotlight is coming soon. In the meantime, why not uncork your own adventure with it? After all, the best wine stories are those we create ourselves. Cheers to new tastings on the horizon! 🥂
