Pinot Noir Saint Grégoire 2023 BIO AOC Alsace
♦ Full-bodied, intense notes of red fruits ♦
"Val St Grégoire" is a communal appellation that benefits the Pinot Blanc or Pinot Gris grape varieties in the Munster valley formerly called "Val Saint Grégoire". This is due to its semi-continental micro-climate, with very pronounced amplitudes, which is particularly successful for the Pinot varieties. Thanks to the specific terroir and micro-climate of the Munster Valley, the "Pinot" vines do particularly well there. The historical name of the Valley of Munster (before the Protestant reform) was "Val Saint Grégoire", hence the name of this cuvée.
(Limited to 6 bottles per family)
