Albert Mann Pinot Noir Les Saintes Claires’ 2021 750ml

The 2021 Pinot Noir Les Saintes Claires is grown on pure limestone, just underneath the Grand Cru Furstentum. The vines are just 15 years old on average. Flinty smoke blends in with lifted red fruit, but does not want to give much more away. The palate is tender and very light, almost lithe, with distinct red fruit and graceful stature. It’s strait-laced and slender, with an inner density and super-fine tannin akin to combed nano-particle silk. This is a picture of tender elegance, with inherent coolness. (Bone-dry)
