Pinot noir shows<br />
its true colours<br />
Long the outsider and mainly used for rosé Crémant, Alsace Pinot noir is<br />
increasingly gaining traction. Accounting for 10% of vineyard acreage, the varietal<br />
is now the focus of winegrowing expertise and is being cropped at reasonable<br />
yields. Treated this way, it demonstrates remarkable quality, taking it a step closer<br />
to its iconic Burgundy cousin.<br />
