About Trimbach 2019 Pinot Noir Reserve, Alsace
Since 1626, the Trimbach family has been promoting and producing fine wines of Alsace. They have been celebrated over the centuries with countless accolades, setting a true gold standard. Maison Trimbach is located in Ribeauvillé, where today three generations work closely together. Maison Trimbach’s vineyards are all situated around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the Vosges Mountains protection from heavy rains. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville’s fault line that fractured 50 million years ago between the Vosges Mountain range and the Black Forest offering a mosaic of terroirs including the complex calcareous limestone and bio-degraded seashell fossils called “Muschelkalk”.
Grapes are hand harvested for this Pinot Noir Reserve. After de-stemming, the grapes undergo an 8-day cold maceration to extract color and fruit. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The Pinot Noirs are the only Trimbach wines which undergo malolactic fermentation (in tank) and they are bottled after 3 months ageing in stainless steel tanks.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine Scored this 94 points saying "This wine is earthy, fruity and just a touch hot on the nose. It’s unabashedly savory, with notes of camphor, wild mushroom and chestnut on the finish. It’s long-lasting, with a cooling herbal characteristic, and all the intrigue of an evergreen forest."
James Suckling scored this 92 points saying "A very fresh and pure style of pinot noir with bright cherries balanced by a snap of tannin and lively acidity on the medium body. Crisp finish with some finesse. Very food-friendly! Drink now.
