About half of the grapes were destemmed before fermenting in tank. The wine aged for a year in older barrique barrels. This is not made every year, the production is minimal and comes from the estate's oldest Pinot Noir vines. A red wine for the table and an ideal pairing with lamb burgers.

Staff Pick Notes

Established since 2004 in Bennwihr, Laurent Barth has revitalized this 4 hectares of vineyard, mainly located on hillsides. All farmed manually and organically. Just a half hectare plot of 40-50 year old vines is dedicated to red With rich black currant and crushed berry character, this is a wine equally balanced in earth and fruit. Vinified in steel and matured in old oak, this wine is savvy but it is old school. This is the type of wine I truly love, you can taste the winemakers touch on each sip. Treat yourself to this delightful Pinot Noir and experience it for yourself.

Yet, as evidenced by the persistece of a dialect of Upper German in the region even today, Alsace's ties to Germany...
