Domaine Valentin Zusslin - Bollenberg Luft Red 2016

Domaine Valentin Zusslin - Bollenberg Luft Red 2016Grape Pinot Noir (100%) Tasting notes "The 2016 Pinot Noir Bollenberg Luft comes from the upper part of the west facing "cru," which has its the roots in Jurassic limestone and is covered by a layer of silt less than one meter thick. The first vintage, 2016, gave pure, fine and fresh Pinot Noirs in Alsace and is among my favorite vintages for red wines in this beautiful and still underrated region west of the Rhine River. Zusslin's Luft premiere shows

and a subtle oxidative nuance that nods to the region’s traditional style

Delord cellars contain old treasured vintages and include more than 700 oak barrels that protect and age the Armagnac eau-de-vie dating from the 20th Century to the present day
