Domaine Jean Sipp Reserve Pinot Noir (Alsace) *

A robust Pinot with big, chewy tannins that demand attention. The underlying fruit is inviting, but the wine feels slightly tough, hinting at potential for improvement with time.

This Alsatian Pinot Noir presents a lovely translucent ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose is fragrant and delicate, offering a charming bouquet of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and a subtle, earthy note of forest floor. On the palate, it is light-bodied and silky, with very soft, almost imperceptible tannins and bright acidity that emphasizes flavors of raspberry and a hint of white pepper. The finish is dry and clean, with a refreshing lift. Crafted in a pale, elegant style typical of the region, it sees minimal oak to allow the delicate fruit character to remain the focus.
