Boeckel Pinot Noir Terres Rouges 2022

This is a 2022 organic red wine from Domaine Boeckel, made from Pinot Noir grown on the Rotland site within the Zotzenberg Grand Cru at Mittelbergheim. The soils are marl and limestone enriched with iron oxides, facing south-east. The vines are about 50 years old and picked by hand. The wine is made without additives, macerated for around 12 days, then aged for 18 months in barrels, part of them new oak. It is structured and full, with fine, silky tannins and red fruit, sometimes with spicy, lightly oaky notes. Freshness balances its concentration.
