2020 F E Trimbach Pinot Noir Reserve Cuvee 7, Alsace

Pinot Noir Cuve 7 owes its name to the number of the vat in which it was first produced. Only produced in exceptional years, this wine comes from the best parcels of the Rotenberg vineyard in Ribeauvillé. Rotenberg’s terroir for Pinot Noir is red irony clay similar to Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets in Burgundy. The clones come from a Massale selection of Pommard Clos des Epenots. The Pinot Noir Reserve Personelle has a lower yield as some Grand Crus from Burgundy at 30-35 hl/ha.
