    Winemaker Notes

    Like its big brother from the Cote de Rouffach, this Pinot Noir is lovingly aged in oak barrels for 10 months, allowing it to develop its rich aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and blackberry. The palate offers silky and long lasting tannins with spicy notes on the finish.

    This Pinot Noir will accompany grilled meats, some soft cheeses Camembert, Brie, etc.), and Asian spicy dishes like lamb tagine or couscous.

    Continuing the Rieflé family's three-century-old tradition of winemaking in Alsace, René and André Rieflé formed Domaine Joseph Rieflé et Fils in 1966.

    The estate is located in Pfaffenheim where Francois Rieflé made the family's first wines in the early 18th century. This region's calcium-rich soil and dry microclimate give the Rieflé wines great power and tremendous length. The winery is managed today by two of Joseph's grandsons, Jean-Claude and Christophe. In keeping with tradition, they are passionate about their work, and take great pride in the premium quality wines they produce.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    With its fairytale aesthetic, Germanic influence and strong emphasis on white wines, Alsace is one of France’s most unique viticultural regions. This hotly contested stretch of land running north to south on France’s northeastern border has spent much of its existence as German territory. Nestled in the rain shadow of the Vosges mountains, it is one of the driest regions of France but enjoys a long and cool growing season. Autumn humidity facilitates the development of “noble rot” for the production of late-picked sweet wines, Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles.

    The best wines of Alsace can be described as aromatic and honeyed, even when completely dry. The region’s “noble” varieties, the only ones permitted within Alsace’s 51 Grands Crus vineyards, are Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Pinot Gris.

    Riesling is Alsace’s main specialty. In its youth, Alsace Riesling is dry, fresh and floral, but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Gewurztraminer is known for its signature spice and lychee aromatics, and is often utilized for late harvest wines. Pinot Gris is prized for its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavors. Muscat, vinified dry, tastes of ripe green grapes and fresh rose petal.

    Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Chasselas, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir—the only red grape permitted in Alsace and mainly used for sparkling rosé known as Crémant d’Alsace. Most Alsace wines are single-varietal bottlings and unlike other French regions, are also labeled with the variety name.
