Introduction:
The 2024 Domaine Bott Frères Pinot Noir is a light, aromatic red wine that captures the elegance and finesse of Alsace Pinot Noir. Bottled in a 1.0-liter format for added conviviality, this wine offers bright red fruit, floral lift, and refreshing acidity, making it a versatile and approachable expression from one of the region’s most historic producers.

Terrior:
Grown in the cool continental climate of Ribeauvillé, Alsace, the vineyards sit on clay-limestone and sandy soils that lend structure, freshness, and minerality to the wine. The wide diurnal temperature shifts in the region help maintain natural acidity and aromatic clarity. Domaine Bott Frères, established in 1835, practices sustainable viticulture, emphasizing vineyard health and varietal purity.

Appearance:
Pale ruby in the glass with translucent edges. The wine shows youthful vibrancy and clarity, consistent with a fresh, lightly extracted Pinot Noir.

Nose:
Fragrant and fruit-forward, the nose reveals aromas of cherry, raspberry, and red currant, with hints of violet, crushed herbs, and a touch of earth. There is a light spiciness that adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with juicy red fruit at its core — strawberry, cranberry, and sour cherry — framed by bright acidity and soft tannins. There’s a subtle earthy note and herbaceous edge that enhances the wine’s savory dimension.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing with lingering notes of red berry and delicate spice. The finish is light, crisp, and encourages another sip, making it ideal for everyday enjoyment.

Recommended Food Pairings:
Meat Dish: Roast chicken with herbs, pork tenderloin with mustard glaze, or duck sausage.
Vegetarian Option: Mushroom quiche, lentil salad with roasted beets, or herbed ratatouille.
Cheese / Charcuterie Pairing: Camembert, Brie, young Comté, prosciutto, or pork rillettes.

Overall Impression:
The 2024 Domaine Bott Frères Pinot Noir is a charming, light-bodied red that delivers bright fruit, floral elegance, and Alsatian character. Bottled in a generous 1.0-liter format, it’s ideal for casual gatherings and versatile enough to pair with a wide range of dishes. A delightful example of how Pinot Noir thrives in the cool soils of Alsace.
