Issu d'une parcelle de 1,3 hectare sur un sol calcaro-gréseux, le Pinot Noir Les Jardins est un rouge d'Alsace qui bénéficie d'un savoir-faire emprunt de talent et de passion. On perçoit tout d’abord muscade et pierre à fusil puis viennent la cerise noir, la réglisse... Les tanins sont amples et gras, soyeux avec une très longue persistance sur les fruits rouges. Très beau rouge d'Alsace !

Expert opinion

Graded area (2024 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)

About the domain :

Having returned to the domaine in 1999, Matthieu Boesch was quick to take the plunge into organic and biodynamic viticulture, with certification in hand as early as 2006. However, while virtuous practices are one thing, it took more time for the wines to find their balance in the glass, for the extra acidity and tension to support each other in the sense of length. For the past two vintages, we've found this to be the case. Good news for us!

Graded area (2024 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Fervent advocates of biodynamic viticulture for over ten years, Matthieu and his wife Marie represent the eleventh generation of the Léon Boesch estate in the heart of the Vallée Noble. Here, the Zinnkoepflé Grand Cru is now dedicated to Gewurztraminer, setting the benchmark for a dry, full-bodied style. The estate has been working biodynamically since 2000, and the winery inaugurated in Westhalten in 2010 is a bioclimatic model. The wines have depth and express the terroirs of the area to the full.

good energy but the aromatics are a little too meaty.

a pleasant red that deserves to wait a few years for its tannins to mature....
