Pinot Noir "V" 2017

Pinot Noir 2017 "V"

The vine :

The grand cru Vorbourg is located in the southern part of Alsace and protected by the highest summits of the Vosges mountains (the "Grand Ballon" and the "Petit Ballon"). The soil (clay and calcareous) is covered with a sheet of loess on the down-side. The slopes face south to south-east. The Muré family’s vineyard located in the Vorbourg is cultivated in organic farming. The V is for the first letter of the word Vorbourg.
