Coteaux Calcaires Pinot Noir2024

Pinot Noir from Alsace, France, produces light-bodied, rustic wines that show flavors and aromas of cherries, cranberries, strawberries and raspberries with supple, soft tannins. Skilled producers are able to coax out more earthy complexity in their wines. Not long ago, it was extremely difficult to make a good quality Pinot Noir from the region. The climate was too cool to ripen the grapes, which meant that wines of poor quality with little to no fruit were the norm. But warmer summers, as a result of climate change, now make it easier for grapes to ripen in this region. Pinot Noir is the only red grape authorized in the Alsace AOC, located in the northeastern corner of France, sharing a border with Germany.
