A classic expression of Alsatian Pinot Noir from the Michel Léon range, with a cherry-red color and slight violet reflections. The nose shows fine, intense red berry notes of raspberry, redcurrant, and cherry, leading to a supple, rounded palate with very velvety tannins.
Alsace Pinot Noir rarely gets the spotlight it deserves, and this bottling is proof it can be light, silky, and genuinely food-friendly rather than a mere afterthought to the region's whites.
