Domaine Valentin Zusslin
Valentin Harmonie Bollenberg Pinot Noir
Alsace, France
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).

Not a usual 'rustic' and fruit-forward Alsace Pinot Noir. This one is very light bodied, almost rose'-like, with high acidity and tartness. Good, but lacks some depth.

Alsacian Pinot Noir. Good fruit. Can really taste the terroir. Acid mineralogy. Fantastic.

To those who say there is no refinement in Pinot Noir from Alsace, we say you are wrong - and present Exhibit A.
