Gourmand and fruity!
Presentation
The vintage
Strength and determination: two words that describe the 2022 Alsace growing season perfectly. Challenges included heavy frost during spring, hailstorms in June and severe drought in the summer. The talents of our vineyard team paid off and we harvested perfect grapes beginning August 26. In the cellar, the vintage is promising. The wines have lovely acidities, intense aromas and the beautiful typicity of their terroir.

Winemaking
Harvested at perfect ripeness, our Pinot Noir grapes are destemmed immediately then cold macerated for a few days. The first juices and the end of each press are kept separately after fermenting for about 10 days.

The final Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes blend is 30% 2-year-old oak barrel and 70% stainless steel tanks. The wine was bottled in late September.
