Alsace Pinot Noir Réserve Cuve 7 Trimbach (Domaine) 2017

The wine

The Pinot Noir Réserve Cuve 7 is named after the number of the vat in which it was made. It is produced from some of the best terroirs – namely, Rotenberg, in Ribeauvillé – and only in the most exceptional years. You’ll find aromas of red and blackcurrants, with a delicately silken character. It pairs perfectly with pork or strongly flavoured hard cheeses. Cellar for up to 10 years.

About the Producer Trimbach

Descendants of a long line of wine enthusiasts, Hubert and Bernard Trimbach manage the property with their sons Pierre and Jean. Firmly rooted in Alsace since 1626, the Trimbach name rapidly gained a regional and then international reputation, largely thanks to Frédéric-Emile Trimbach at the end of the 19th century. The property is located on some magnificent terroirs, some benefitting from grand cru status, but appellation approval has never really interested the Trimbach family, who prefer to produce distinguished blends that they market under their own brand names. Their vinification methods have resisted the siren call of modern technology; the owners monitor every stage, with a strict respect for tradition, in order to ensure that the famous "Trimbach style" is preserved, which serves as an international benchmark for Alsace wines.
