“‘The 2023 Sonnenglaenzlé Pinot Noir combines depth of flavor with structure, featuring fresh, licorice-like tannins: ideally, let it age for two years.’”

“The 2023 vintage follows the 2022 in the Guide, and this Pinot Noir—made from 40-year-old vines planted on limestone soil—shows the same consistency. With an intense garnet color, the wine builds in intensity with notes of spiced blackberry and blackcurrant intermingled with leather. Supple on the palate with good length, it displays a certain tannic firmness without being overly austere, maintaining a fresh and delicious character in harmony with aromas of wild berries.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

The new generation of Moltès—Stéphane and Mickaël, who have been at the helm of the estate since 1995—has since converted the vineyard to organic farming. Unsurprisingly, this has given the wines more verticality and tension, and they now stand out at our annual tastings. This is just the beginning of a new adventure for this estate, founded in 1930 by Antoine Moltès.

About the estate:

A vineyard located about ten kilometers south of Colmar. Antoine Moltès began selling his first wines in 1925, and his son Roland explored the terroirs. Mickaël and Stéphane, who took over at the turn of the century, built a new winery and gradually shifted toward organic farming, beginning the vineyard’s conversion in 2012; they also expanded the property from 17 to 27 hectares in 2019 and established a wine trading company to broaden their product line.
