Domaine Albert Mann - Alsace - Grand H - Pinot Noir - Red - 2023

Wine:

From two south-facing parcels planted in 1975 on marl, limestone, and sandstone soils, the 2023 Alsace Pinot Noir Grand H Red is a strikingly intense and finely sculpted wine. Its broad, powerful structure is perfectly supported by a thoughtful maturation process that adds dimension without overwhelming. Despite its depth, this Pinot shows real finesse, with silky tannins and beautifully pure fruit—blackberry and raspberry—placing it firmly in the realm of top-tier Burgundian style. A long, saline finish and vibrant acidity bring balance and elegance, enhancing the wine’s impressive texture and clarity. Refined, expansive, and profoundly expressive—this is a Pinot Noir of remarkable poise.
