Emeric's note

A dinner date at home

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Céline Metz is the 11th generation of her family in Blienschwiller, making her wines in the old tithe cellar built in 1728 and farming organically.

Her Pinot Noir comes from the granite hills around the village and is aged in barriques.

Alsace red at its most polished, and a lovely surprise for Burgundy lovers.

Where it comes from

Alsace map

The place

Alsace

Sheltered in the rain-shadow of the Vosges, Alsace is dry, sunny and planted to a mosaic of thirteen soil types. Its wines are named by grape — Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat — and run from bone-dry to nobly sweet. One of France's densest concentrations of organic and biodynamic estates. ~15,500 ha.
