Pinot Auxerrois 'Acacia' 2023
2023 was a beautiful year in the vineyard, with healthy, pure fruit forming the basis of this cuvée. Nothing was changed in the processing of the grapes: manual harvesting of only the best bunches, whole-cluster pressing, spontaneous fermentation, and ageing in 500 L acacia-wood barrels. On the nose, we find spring blossom, citrus, and a light spiciness. The palate opens round and juicy with gentle acidity and a delicate suppleness. Ripe fruit and a well-integrated touch of oak lead into a fine, elegant finish. Characterful drinking pleasure at only 11.5% alcohol!
