Quintessence

2008 Alsace Contrôlée 100% Pinot Noir

With a lovely garnet hue, this wine evokes a sense of sophistication. On the palate, it presents a medium body that gracefully balances bright acidity, enhancing its overall freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of cherries and raspberries, complemented by delicate undertones of earthiness and subtle floral hints. The tannins are soft yet supportive, providing structure without overpowering the wine's finesse. This vintage from 2008 is beautifully dry, making it a delightful companion for a variety of dishes or merely to savor on its own. Each sip embodies the essence of Alsace, creating a memorable tasting experience.
