Weingut Rudolf Furst Spatburgunder Burgstadter Berg 1G 2022 750ml

From plots within the Centgrafenberg (40%) and Hunsrück (60%) grands crus, the 2022 Spätburgunder Bürgstadter Berg 1G is deep, intense and elegant on the finely concentrated and fruity nose that shows aromas of ripe cherries, blackcurrant and nuances of woodruff combined with crunchy salts and ripe, finely grained tannins. This is Pinot as an event! Dense and generous yet open on the immediately conquering palate, this is another amazing 2022 from Sebastian Fürst. It is pure, fresh and saline, very delicate and spectacularly long and tensioned but never powerful or big. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
