Tasting notes
An intensely ripe and generous Pinot Noir with a deep, expressive nose of plum, cinnamon, mocha, and wild strawberries, underpinned by the mineral finesse of Bollenberg’s iron-rich limestone soils. The palate is silky and full-bodied, offering both density and remarkable freshness, with tension, elegance, and purity. Harmoniously blending the power of the Neuberg parcel with the airy refinement of the Luft, this vintage marks the final cuvée before the two plots were vinified separately. The finish is long, layered, and persistent, echoing delicate wild berry and earthy notes.
About the Winery
Established in 1691 by M. Jodocus CISLE (former name of Zusslin), Domaine Valentin ZUSSLIN is now run by two generations of the Zusslin family who are following in the footsteps of their forbears. The winery is based in Orschwihr, south of Colmar, and the vines are planted on the slopes of the Bollenberg, Clos Liebenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg.
Since 1997, the estate has been run in its entirety according to the principles of Bio-Dynamic culture. The vines are mainly worked by hand and a significant amount of time is devoted to caring for the soil.
Awarded the Robert Parker Green emblem in July 2021.
