Our older vintages
Pinot Noir
Blauburgunder
2016
Opens with a deep, fresh and Burgundian bouquet of ripe yet elegant black berry fruit intertwined with a chalky finesse. Clear, fresh and silky on the palate, this is a tight, fresh and chalky, remarkably refined Pinot with a long finish. Tasted at the domain in September 2019.
This Blauburgunder was made with the ripest Pinot Noir grapes, especially from the top vineyards Dechant and Käferberg.
