Valentin Zusslin, Pinot Noir Bollenberg, Alsace, 2018
Domaine Valentin Zusslin is one of Alsace’s leading biodynamic estates, known for wines that combine precision, energy, and a strong expression of terroir. The Bollenberg vineyard is a warm, limestone-rich hillside in southern Alsace historically recognized as one of the region’s finest sites for Pinot Noir. Farmed biodynamically and vinified with a restrained, low-intervention approach, the wine reflects both the ripeness of the site and the freshness preserved by the estate’s careful farming and élevage.
The 2018 vintage is expressive and layered, offering notes of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, dried rose, forest floor, and subtle spice. The palate is silky yet structured, balancing supple fruit with bright acidity and fine earthy tannins. Medium-bodied and savory, the finish carries a mineral-driven character that brings lift and precision to the wine’s generous fruit profile.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Alsace, France
Farming: Biodynamic
Style: Red. Silky, savory, and mineral-driven
