I love the region of Alsace. It has always been a consistent go-to for me for dry white wines, but recently the Pinot Noir’s of the region have been catching my attention. Many are quaffable, especially when slightly chilled, but some can really hold their own. I think Laurent Barth has produced a great biodynamic sipper here. While not overly complex, the wine shows a very aromatic character with notes of fresh strawberry, muddled cherry, and rhubarb. There is a backbone of minerality that really emphasizes the region, and an ever so slight petillance that keeps you coming back for more. Wet rock, compost, and the quintessential potpourri make this Pinot Noir exceptionally drinkable. A wine meant more for drinking with a meal rather than long contemplation- I am a fan. 89pts.
