Markus Molitor excels just as much in reds! This pure, fresh and elegant Pinot Noir offers a nose of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry). Dense and silky on the palate, with a lovely tension that brings crispness and freshness. A charming wine!

Too light, a bit floaty. Not masterful

Note and review by M. REMY P. Published on 26/05/2021
Disappointing for the price. Too diluted, with no personality. At this price, you can find much better Pinot Noirs in Alsace. If it were sold at half price, I could recommend it as a "simple" wine, but here it doesn't live up to that promise, whereas the whites from the same producer hold up well and are themselves to be recommended.
