Description
Located just outside of Colmar, Eguisheim was the birthplace of viticulture in Alsace and is a village dear to the hearts of wine lovers. The region is a mosaic composed of chalky marl, sandstone and clay in varying proportions from one plot to the next. The Eguisheim Pinot Noir are produced from estate fruit that is harvested from older vines (35-40+ years). Aging is completed in a combination of 1-2-year-old barrels and neutral tank.
Tasting Notes :
The wine opens with a highly evolved nose, initially presenting delicate notes of vanilla, followed by deep aromas of cherry and red fruits. On the palate, it reveals itself as finely structured and complex with a long, intense aromatic expression sustained by silky tannins. The wood presence is very well-balanced achieving a pleasing harmony.
