2024 Pinot Noir

The grapes come from two plots of light soil in the commune of Turckheim (sands, alluvium, and marl) and a young plot of marl-limestone soil in Wettolsheim.

sowing one row out of two. Light plowing.

Harvesting is 100% manual.

Depending on the vintage, the grapes may be whole and foot-trodden or partially destemmed. Maceration of the berries and juice takes place in stainless steel tanks with a floating cap. At the start, we perform one to two punch-downs per day.

At the end of fermentation, the skins are gently pressed and blended with the free-run juice. Aging and malolactic fermentation take place in a small century-old foudre. This intimate cuvée will be bottled in April, with very little added sulfur and light filtration.

This is a joyful and easy-drinking wine. It has supple tannins and a tender texture. This Pinot Noir transports me to the countryside among the fruit trees. On the nose, I find firm and juicy black cherry. A sensual and delightful aroma. On the palate, I feel the flesh around the stone and the wind blowing through the branches of the tree. It's a vibrant Pinot Noir that heralds the arrival of spring.

This cuvée will be the cheeky wine for charcuterie and other pork dishes. Bloomy rind cheeses and surf and turf pairings will also suit it well.
