Meyer-Fonne Pinot Noir Altenbourg 2017

This is a rich, ample, seductive Pinot with notes of tea leaves, strawberries, and blackberries, ready to drink now or in 5-10 years. Its class reaches that of many premier cru red Burgundies, so if you have not experienced the beauty of top-notch Alsace Pinot Noir, this is a perfect place to start.

A vibrant and fresh pinot noir that has attractive fresh flowers on offer, too. The palate has a very smooth, succulent and fresh feel with an impressive depth of fleshy fruit and quite taut tannins, holding it together.
