Weingut Friedrich BECKER
Becker Family Spätburgunder
- 2019
- Allemagne (Wissembourg)
In the very north of Alsace, close to the Franco-German border, Domaine Becker is paradoxically renowned, not for its Rieslings, but for its Pinot Noirs. Sheltered from the Atlantic storms by the northern Vosges mountains and on a subsoil of shell limestone, the region around Wissembourg offers an excellent terroir for Pinot, made even more favourable by global warming. Domaine Becker wines have the depth, richness and aromatic distinction of perfectly ripe Pinots, while remaining elegant. At the same price, they can stand up to comparison with the 1st growths of the Côte d'Or.
This cuvée Pinot Noir is a blend of the young vines (20 to 40 years old, not so young), juicy on the palate (fresh cherry), fresh and elegant with a hint of vivacity on the finish, like a Volnay village.

Cuvée Kammerberg, made from Pinots planted in 1967, is the flagship of the Becker range. Opaque in colour, it is fruity, powerful and complex without being exuberant. The density is reminiscent of Pommard, while the structure is reminiscent of Gevrey-Chambertin. Bluffing!
