"It was love at first sight with this Pinot Noir!"

This Alsatian Pinot Noir is a blend of two vineyards with old vines. Dark fruit and a hint of vanilla notes envelop the nose before giving way to a full-bodied, supple, and well-structured palate. According to Sophie Schaal, it’s a “perfect antidote to the fatigue of a long day”!

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Alongside a wine-trading venture in South Africa, Julien Schaal founded his Alsatian business in 2011—a highly original endeavor, as it is exclusively a wine-trading business based on the purchase of grapes from grand cru vineyards. Currently, nine grand cru wines are on the menu, representing just about every type of soil in the region, and the selection consists solely of Riesling—with the exception of a Gewürztraminer from the Osterberg and a blend from the Altenberg de Bergheim. In a blind tasting, his 2017 vintages blew us away. Hats off!

About the wine:

Transparent ruby red. A pleasant wine, slightly sweet and fruity (again!), which perhaps resembles an easy-drinking red more than a pure expression of Pinot Noir. A rather short finish. Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Focused on freshness, the bouquet stands out for its vibrant fruitiness—without being overpowering—featuring aromas of morello cherries and red berries, while the minerality underscores the freshness. Juicy on the palate, the wine follows a precise and well-defined profile with a structure that is both mouthwatering and refreshing. A savory, fresh, and mouthwatering wine! Drink now through 2032
