Domaine Bruno Sorg Pinot Noir
Tasting Note
A beautiful Alsace Pinot Noir, with ripe red summer fruits on the nose and palate. With soft tannins, this is an easy drinking Pinot Noir which could be drunk slightly chilled in warm weather!
Producer
This is the source of some of the finest, richest and most concentrated wines in Alsace. Superb Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris and perhaps the finest Muscat in Alsace, but also home to great Riesling. The late Bruno and his son François realised a dream ten years ago with the final purchase of a plot of steep ‘garrigue’ in the heart of the Grand Cru Pfersigberg. They now have amassed 1½ hectares in one plot. Bruno had secretly been buying parcels of this land for the last 30 years. Much hard work was necessary, in clearing the forest and then terracing the very steep slopes.
This great vineyard is planted with Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris and the fruit was used for the first time in 2004. In 2004 François Sorg built a temperature controlled winery just outside the village. François says he now has time to think instead of climbing up and down ladders and stairs. The wines were always first division but now they have that extra dimension.
Crémant d’Alsace François Sorg makes beautifully balanced Crémant from 50% Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois, 10% Pinot Gris and 40% Chardonnay. Antoine has inherited from his uncle some prime terrior, 2.5 hectares including Grand Cru Eichberg, which we should see next year.
