This wine is produced from grapes grown in the Itterswiller, outside of Strasbourg. Unlike the pure Alsatian varietals (Riesling, Gewurztraminer, etc.) where the varietal is included in the appellation rules, Pinot Noir is allowed to appear on the label.
Whole cluster fermentation follows an 8 day carbonic maceration. The wine is then pressed before the end of the fermentation, and put in barrel to finish fermenting, resulting in an exuberant, energetic and fruity wine with minimal tannic structure. Bottled after 6 months in neutral oak barrels with minimal SO2.
Dark red fruit makes this one of Crotet’s thickest reds. Bright cherry aromatics are enchanting, to say the least. Soft tannins and a fresh energetic mouthfeel make this a perfect food wine.
