Description

100% Pinot Noir sourced from the Frauenberg vineyard in Alsace, this négociant cuvée from Anne and Jean-François Ganevat is hand harvested from organically grown vines and vinified naturally by cool, semi-carbonic maceration before ageing in seasoned foudres. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur, it shows a lovely ruby hue with a nose of cherry, wild raspberry and pomegranate, lifted by subtle spice and floral notes. The palate is fine and mineral, with silky tannins, fresh acidity and a lovely aromatic length, making it a highly drinkable, versatile red. Serve with a slight chill alongside roast chicken, charcuterie or a soft cheese such as Saint Nectaire, giving it a little decanting or aeration to show its best.
