Pinot Noir

About this wine

A barrel-aged Pinot Noir distinguished by elegant aromas of red fruits and woody nuances from oak aging. Beautifully perfumed with morello cherry notes mixed with vanilla and woody character from the barrique, contributing to the harmony and roundness of the tannins on the palate.

Beginner's Note

A slightly richer style of Alsace Pinot Noir — oak adds warmth without overwhelming the fruit.

Sommelier's Note

"The barrique brings just enough vanilla warmth to this Pinot Noir without masking its cherry core — a step up in complexity from Cleebourg's standard red."

Food Pairings

Suited to roasted white meats, mushroom dishes, and mild aged cheeses; the oak-derived vanilla notes also complement grilled dishes with a touch of caramelization.

When to drink it

Dinner parties, roasted meat dishes, autumn and winter drinking

This bottling is aged in oak barriques, adding vanilla and woody nuances and rounder tannins, whereas the Grande Réserve is aged on lees without oak.
