Very fragrant and enticing, this is a concentrated and elegant pinot noir with great focus and clarity. Aromas of sour cherries, violets and subtle spice cascade over the palate. Still very young, but already a shining star at the very long, clean finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
Alsace has to be one of the most fascinating regions of France, with a history which stretches back millennia, and demonstrates perfectly the kind of blended culture that can arise from being located on the border between two enormously important, yet very different countries. Indeed, being on the border between France and Germany has resulted in Alsatian wines being something of a mix between the wines of these two countries. Riesling varietal grapes are grown in enormous quantities here, and display all of their crisp, dry complexity perfectly in the famous wines of Alsace. Alongside this typically Germanic wine, Alsatian vintners also produce plenty of Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Sauvignon Vert wines, all of which are superb when it comes to expressing the finer features of the wonderful Alsatian terroir.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Réserve "Cuve 7" is based on fruits from roughly 40-year-old vines in the Rotenberg (on red clay and limestone) and in Rodern (granite). Macerated for about 10 to 12 days and aged in foudre until April of the following year, the 2020 offers a deep, intense and generous yet also refined and elegant bouquet of ripe dark berries and cherries intermingled with delicate toast and salt aromas. Full-bodied, quite rich and powerful-finishing, this Pinot Noir is mouthfilling, generously fleshy and intense yet also silky, lush, elegant and structured, with spicy/peppery tannins and some textural Rhône features, even licorice aromas toward the finish. An interesting and mouth-coating Pinot with excellent aging capacity, this Pinot needs some years of bottle age to refine and gain in finesse, though. 14% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in April and November 2024.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Cuve Sept Réserve is mainly from the villages of St Hippolyte and Rodern, from two growers and Trimbach-owned vineyards. Some parcels are located in the granitic soils of Gloeckelberg Grand Cru in Rodern. Mostly aged in foudre for five months. The nose carries hints of ripe black cherry and an edge of licorice. The palate is gorgeously glossy, dense, brimming with tart, dark cherry and shimmering with umami notes of miso and tar. The fine tannins are velvety, but the wine has the usual precision and freshness. This is quite a package, full of drive and energy, bold and straight. The finish is long and spicy. (Bone-dry).
