WINE DESCRIPTION

Marie and Matthieu Boesch craft their estate Pinot Noir, "Les Jardins," from several small parcels in the Vallée Noble. The grapes are gently macerated whole for three weeks, then pressed. The free-run wine is aged in old, neutral barrels, while the press wine is sold in bulk. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, with Marie carefully monitoring the cellar yeasts. These natural yeasts allow her to produce a bone-dry wine with a low pH. The wine matures for a year in old barrels without sulfur, fining, or filtration. This natural wine, crafted by skilled hands, surprises with its silky texture and complexity, showcasing berry, clove, and oriental spice aromas, refined tannins, and a cool, ethereal mouthfeel.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine Léon Boesch

Region: Alsace

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles. Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.
