Pinot Noir Bruno Sorg, Alsace 2020 France

£19.50 Inc VAT

Lighter in body than Loire pinot, with a gentle red fruit presence. Red cherries, strawberries and red currants dominate, and although the wine is light, it packs some punch with intensity of flavour, with a mineral-tinged finish to tantalise.

Description

The late Bruno and his son Francois realised a dream ten years ago with the final purchase of a plot of steep garrigue in the heart of the Grand Cru Pfersigberg. They now have amassed 10 hectares in one plot. Bruno had secretly been buying parcels of this land for the last 30 years.

Much hard work was necessary, in clearing the forest and then terracing the very steep slopes. This great vineyard is planted with Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris and the fruit was used for the first time in 2004. In 2004 Francois Sorg built a temperature-controlled winery just outside the village.

Francois says he now has time to think instead of climbing up and down ladders and stairs. The wines were always first division but now they have that extra dimension.
