Intense Alsatian Pinot Noir, reminiscent of a great Burgundy, sourced from the Luft and Neuberg plots in the Bollenberg hill in Orschwihr. Red fruit, great structure, no rusticity. The 2015 is the last vintage they make. Starting in 2016, they made two single-vineyard wines from each of these 2 plots). — 4 years ago

Fluid cherry-ruby dress. Nose: red fruits, spices, vegetable. Smooth mouth, light, flexible body. Notes of Pinot Noir and Gamay well restored, assembled in harmony in an accessible and complex bouquet with many shades: cherry, cloves, pepper, strawberry, blackberry, rose, violets. Pretty vegetable notes, almost menthol, dry herbs, hay. Tertiary notes slightly smoked/vanilla, suggesting a possibility of Burgundian evolution. Very nice work at a correct price.

Notes de Pinot Noir et Gamay bien restituées, assemblées avec harmonie au sein d’un bouquet accessibles et complexe aux nombreuses nuances: cerise, clou de girofle, poivre, fraise, mûre, rose, violettes. De jolies notes végétales, presque mentholées, herbes sèches, foin. Des notes tertiaires légèrement fumées/vanillées, laissant entrevoir une possibilité d’évolution à la bourguignonne. Très beau travail à prix correct. — 3 years ago

My previous note for a 2018 example is still valid for this 2022. It's peachy and lemony on the nose. There is a bit of chalk and a very discreet herbal note. There isn't any kiwi or cat piss note here like in very aromatic NZ sauvignons. It's more delicate and white-fruit forward. The palate is well balanced with a good acid drive, some nice width, good white peach and nice lemon tart and lemon curd notes all along. The mouthfeel is reminiscent of that chalky note on the nose : that chalky texture carries on from the beginning to the very end. The finish is fresh, lemony and peachy and goes on for a good while. There is a bit of grip too. I had an urge for oysters and realized I hadn't had pouilly fumé in a long while. 2 fixes in one go --> great success 👍! — 20 days ago
