Albert Boxler Pinot Noir "S"

2022
6 to 7 barrels made each year. Maceration lasts 15 days. Racked into barrel by gravity. Aged for 18 months in used Burgundian barrels. Grapes come from grand cru Sommerberg.
"Boxler’s Pinot Noir “S” is from the grand cru Sommerberg. Alsatians can produce grand cru Pinot Noir, but they aren’t allowed to label it as such... go figure. Here is a recipe for success: old vines, great terroir, minimalist winemaking, and aging in used Burgundian barrels. Jean Boxler is an ardent student of Burgundy and travels there regularly to taste and learn. He has applied this passion and his savoir faire working the noble granite slopes of his home turf to produce a truly grandiose Alsatian Pinot Noir." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
