Should this Pinot Noir be served chilled?

Yes — served with a slight chill (around 14-16°C), its fresh red-fruit character and soft tannins really shine.

What does it taste like?

Pure cherry, cranberry and raspberry notes dominate, with soft tannins and bright, juicy acidity — light-bodied rather than rich or tannic.

What food pairs well with it?

Light meats, grilled poultry, salmon and vegetable dishes all suit its fresh, food-friendly style.

Is this a serious, age-worthy red wine?

No — it is designed for early, fresh drinking rather than cellaring, showcasing Alsace's cool-climate Pinot Noir at its most approachable.

Sommelier's Note

Alsace Pinot Noir rarely gets the credit it deserves — this bottling is fresh, honest proof that it belongs on the table alongside the region's famous whites.

New to wine?

For anyone who thinks they don't like red wine — this is light, chillable and closer to a juicy rosé in weight than a typical Pinot Noir.

When to drink it

Casual dinners, barbecues, chilled summer reds
