Also just bottled, this smells amazing, tres Corton; the palate is more tannic and gravelly; it also leans in a “pine-needle” direction and yields to a smoky, stony detailed finish. The site is limestone layered with alluvial stones from the old Rhine, and this is the first wine to see any new wood.

"From the Schulen parcel in the Efringen –lberg, the 2021 Pinot Noir S opens with a pure, bright, intense and fresh, iodine-inflected and fruity bouquet of sour cherries and floral aromas. Fresh and lean on the palate, this is a tight, fresh and limestone-driven, palate-cleansing and refreshing Pinot with refreshing salinity and phenolic grip. It's a very promising wine that needs to be aged for another 3 or 4 years. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in late February 2024."
