Domaine Albert Mann - Alsace - Grand P - Pinot Noir - Red - 2023

Wine:

Born from old vines rooted in iron-rich soils of limestone and sandstone on Eguisheim’s Pfersigberg—though it keeps the name discreet—the 2023 Alsace Pinot Noir Grand P Red is a young, structured Pinot bursting with promise. Juicy and expressive, it opens with aromas of black cherry, morello, sweet spice, and stone fruit. The palate is built on a powerful, well-wrapped frame, lifted by balsamic tones and gentle spice, all bordered by seamlessly integrated tannins. Dense and fleshy, yet radiant in balance, this is a wine that clearly rewards patience. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
