Pinot Noir Grossi Laüe 2013

€18.70

Issu de nos deux plus belles parcelles de Pinot Noir sur le Pflostig, un terroir calcaire au sud de Riquewihr, ce Pinot est une référence en Alsace. La vinification et l'élevage se font en pièces de chêne partiellement renouvelées pendant quelques mois avant une mise en bouteille à la fin du printemps. 

De belle garde, il peut néanmoins se boire rapidement sous réserve de lui laisser le temps de respirer en carafe ou dans le verre.

Quick View
This wine is gradually improving as the vineyards we have planted with the best burgundian clones since the early 90's start to reach their full potential.

The vintage
Rarely have we seen a vintage subject to so many variations in the weather.
The season started late with a damp spring and coulure, causing a smaller than usual crop.
High temperatures and exceptional summer weather brought the grapes to perfect levels of maturity.
Right from the start of our harvest on 1st October the grapes were very healthy and ripe, and so 2013 was a classic Alsace vintage of intense, pure, well balanced wines. Uneven weather at the very end of the harvest prevented any significant production of Late Harvest wines.

In the vineyard
The heart of this Pinot Noir comes from a vineyard planted in 1966 in our family estate in the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEViAjzcYmY "target="_blank" >Pflostig slope, with an average yield of under 40 hl/ha and potential alcohol of more than 12°.

Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed and macerated for about 2 weeks, with manual immersion of the cap (pigeage) to ensure the best possible extraction. The wine is matured for almost 10 months in small oak vats, which are partially renewed each year.
The whole production of this wine is closed with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba1Ym9IUl_w&feature=player_embedded "target="_blank" > DIAM the cork without the risk of cork taint.
