Valentin Zusslin - Pinot Noir Bollenberg Harmonie 2011

93/100

RVF

Domaine Zusslin's Pinot Noir production is, according to the Revue du Vin de France, "one of the most exciting in Alsace". With its luscious aromas of morello cherries, the Cuvée Harmonie is immediately seductive, elegantly announcing a fruity palate with silky tannins. A very fine vintage that won't blush in the face of Côte de Beaune wines.

About the wine:

Pinot noir production here is one of the most exciting in Alsace.

About the domain :

Jean-Paul and Marie Zusslin, who continue the family winegrowing tradition that began in 1691, have been exemplary for some years now. Based in Orschwihr, in a beautiful vineyard, they form a passionate, charismatic duo, dedicated to a job well done. And they're multiplying their projects: designing a new bottle, setting up dozens of beehives and nesting boxes in the plots... Each has his own role: Marie in marketing, Jean-Paul in the vines and the cellar. Biodynamic viticulture since 1997, meticulous winemaking and precise ageing sum up the work of this benchmark domaine, where the spirit of the parcel is omnipresent, even in the crémants. The excellence of the range may well mean a rise in our rankings!
