Amélie & Charles Sparr - Pinot Noir Montagne des Roses 2023

Pinot Noir
elegant
quail with cherries

“My friend the rose told me this morning: ‘Be patient—you won’t regret it!’”

This Pinot Noir surprises with its garnet color and a nose that’s still a bit youthful, brimming with cherry, rosewood, and subtle spices. On the palate, it confirms its still-hidden potential with a fresh, supple, well-balanced wine and a lovely finish. We’re only at the beginning of its journey, and we can’t wait to see it reach its peak!

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Founded in 2017, this estate is built on the legacy of vineyards brought together by the couple Amélie Buecher—who comes from a long line of winemakers—and Charles Sparr, the son of a family of wine merchants. Certified organic in 2017 and biodynamic in 2019, their vineyard includes four grand cru vineyards and offers a consistent range of authentic, unpretentious wines. Quality is improving rapidly, the Pinot Noirs shine, and the estate earned its first star this year.

About the wine:

I love the summery floral aromas of this elegant, medium-bodied Pinot Noir from Alsace. Lively and vibrant, it exudes excellent energy and youthful dynamism. Its long, decidedly dry finish reveals pronounced notes of citrus peel. Very limited production from grapes grown using Demeter-certified biodynamic agriculture. Can be enjoyed now, but will reach its peak starting in 2027.
