Alsace Pinot Noir

Alsace & Eastern France
Share
Alsace Pinot Noir is one of the rare red wines produced in this traditional wine region, which is primarily devoted to white wines. This varietal is cultivated on the steep hillsides of Alsace, where it benefits from clayey soil and a cool, sunny climate. Alsace Pinot Noir is characterized by its deep ruby color and brilliant appearance. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and plum, with undertones of forest floor and licorice. On the palate, it is well-balanced and tannic, with refreshing acidity and soft tannins. Alsace Pinot Noir is typically vinified as a red wine, though some producers also offer rosé versions. It is often served with red meat or game dishes, but can also complement more elaborate fare such as seafood or soft-paste cheeses. Alsace Pinot Noir is a complex and aromatic wine that requires some aging to reach its full maturity. It generally improves over 3 to 5 years after harvest but can be cellared for years if properly stored.
