This Pinot Noir is surprisingly garnet-colored, with a nose that's still a little young, full of cherry, rosewood and hints of spice. The palate confirms its hidden potential, with fresh, supple, well-balanced juice and lovely length. We're only at the beginning of its ascent, and can't wait to get to the top!

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Born in 2017, this estate is the legacy of vines brought together by the couple Amélie Buecher, from a long line of winegrowers, and Charles Sparr, child of a family of wine merchants. Certified organic in 2017 and biodynamic in 2019, their vineyard boasts four grands crus and offers a regular range of sincere, no-nonsense wines. Quality is improving fast, the Pinot Noirs are shining, and the domaine has been awarded its first star this year.
