Rene Mure, Clos Saint Landelin Pinot Noir 2018 (1x75cl)

Yes, this is a red. Almost everyone files Alsace under white wine, but Pinot Noir is the region's one permitted red grape, and this is what it looks like when an Alsace estate takes it seriously. Clos Saint Landelin is the estate's named walled vineyard, printed on the label.

Alsace Pinot Noir is usually lighter and fresher than Burgundy, which makes it a flexible dinner bottle — roast chicken, charcuterie, salmon, or a hot Hong Kong evening when a heavy red is the last thing you want.

Tasting notes

Alsace Pinot Noir usually shows bright red cherry and raspberry with light tannin and fresh acidity. It typically drinks best with a short chill, around 14 to 15°C.
