🏰 Albert Mann Alsace Pinot Noir Les Sainte Claire 2022 is a 【magnificent milestone Pinot Noir for Alsace, earning a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker, showcasing unparalleled concentration, calcareous finesse, and a breathtakingly complex aromatic profile】. The 2022 vintage is hailed as one of the finest Alsace Pinot Noirs in a decade. This wine displays a luminous ruby crimson with crystalline clarity. It opens with a beautifully pure, finely intense yet expressive and very complex bouquet of perfectly ripe and concentrated fruit intermingled with layers of flowers, minerals (iodine), and herbs. Expect wild strawberry, red cherry, blood orange alongside rose petal, sweet spice, and an intricate savory thread of forest floor and crushed stone. The palate is sculptural yet flowing, delivering vibrant red berry fruit wrapped in ultra-fine tannins and electric natural acidity, leading to a mouthwatering character and persistent finish. 🍴 This extraordinary Pinot Noir shines with roast duck with morels, herb-crusted lamb rack, mushroom and chestnut tart, or seared tuna with sesame. It also pairs well with beetroot carpaccio, soy-lacquered lamb, and various soft to semi-hard cheeses like Morbier or Brie. 🥂 A collector's treasure and a profoundly moving expression of site and vintage, this wine is perfect for a grand celebration, a serious wine tasting, or a luxurious dinner. It's built for long evolution, continuing to develop over fifteen to twenty years.
