Biodynamic. The standard of Weinbach’s Pinot has gone through the roof. There are now five single-vineyard Pinots in the range. The Clos des Capucins bottling leans towards early-ish drinking, with quality pitched towards the village-level wines of Burgundy. Stylistically, it can equally resemble the high-grown Pinots from the Jura or even the best German Pinots as much as those of the Côte d’Or. The fruit fermented spontaneously with 20% bunches and spent about 20 days on skins. It was raised in mature Burgundy barrels for 14 months before being bottled unfiltered.

Reviews

“The 2023 Pinot Noir Clos des Capucins was grown on the sandy soils of the flat, historic vineyards just outside the winery. There is a small proportion of whole bunches in the ferment. It was raised in a mix of pièce and foudre without any new wood. The translucent, ruby-hued wine immediately gives off lively, bright cherry scents. A touch of fine cocoa dusts the palate, underlining its smooth mouthfeel and fruitiness. This is light, bone dry, approachable, beautifully ripe, juicy and fresh.”
