Pinot Noir 'Lune Noire' Vignoble Des 2 Lunes 2022

With its fragrant and juicy taste, the 'Lune Noire' Vignoble des 2 Lunes Pinot Noir is an ideal bottle to best approach the intriguing world of Alsatian Pinot Noirs. This variety practically represents the only red grape cultivated in Alsace, a region predominantly known for white wines but increasingly focusing on Pinot Noir. This shift is partly due to the warming effects of climate change, a negative phenomenon that sometimes has positive outcomes, such as in the case of Alsatian Pinot Noir. In fact, higher average temperatures allow these grape varieties to reach optimal ripeness more easily, resulting in more intense and full-bodied wines with great impact.

The 'Lune Noire' Pinot Noir Vignoble des 2 Lunes is made from pure Pinot Noir grapes grown in accordance with the principles of certified organic and biodynamic agriculture. Once harvested by hand, the clusters are vinified in stainless steel tanks with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation accompanied by several days of maceration on the skins. The subsequent maturation phase takes place in oak barrels, where the wine rests for several months until final bottling.

In appearance, the Pinot Noir 'Lune Noire' from the Alsatian biodynamic winery Vignoble des 2 Lunes displays a purple-red color with violet hues. The intriguing aromatic profile is painted with sensations of cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, which blend with hints of underbrush and black pepper, framed by perceptions of vanilla, licorice, and smoke. The dry and dynamic sip reveals a crisp freshness that supports the soft body along with an elegant tannic texture. The light finish lingers on notes of wild berries and spices.
