Tasting notes
So here we have the Alsace Pinot Noir Elevé en Foudre from Léon Mambach, a 2005 vintage. This wine captures the essence of Alsace's cool climate, showcasing the delicate harmony between Pinot Noir's fruitiness and acidity. Grown with natural farming practices, it brings out a profound sense of the soil's mineral qualities.
This wine appears in volume 35 of 'Drops of God', where Ma Famille presents it as the second bottle in a showdown. It's described as having the elegance of a young doe running through the forest, highlighting the natural power it embodies. Truly, it is a masterpiece born from the harmony of its terroir.
Pour a glass and you'll notice its deep garnet color. The aroma is open and inviting, with notes of raspberry and violet, intertwined with hints of tea and mushrooms. On the palate, there’s a soft sweetness paired with a lively acidity that tightens the profile nicely. The tannins are velvety, giving a smooth mouthfeel. The finish is rather long, with a distinct mineral presence.
This wine is elegant and complex, best enjoyed slightly chilled around 14–16°C to bring out its delicate balance. You should definitely give it a try.
