Pinot Noir Heimbourg

2009 Alsace Pinot Noir

Domaine Zind Humbrecht's 2009 Pinot Noir from the Alsace region is an exquisite example of what this varietal can achieve in a cool climate. This wine displays a beautiful red hue, indicative of the richness contained within. On the nose, it offers tantalizing aromas of ripe red berries complemented by delicate earthy undertones, showcasing a well-integrated balance of fruit and subtle complexity. The mouthfeel is luxurious, with a medium-plus body that provides a satisfying presence, while the refreshing acidity keeps the palate lively and engaged. Tannins are elegantly structured, providing a suave framework without overwhelming the fruit, allowing the wine to express its terroir beautifully. Its dryness enhances the wine's versatility, making it an excellent match for a variety of dishes. This Pinot Noir is truly a delightful representation of Alsace's winemaking prowess.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
