This great Alsace red is just beginning to come into its best youthful drinking phase. The incredibly deep wet earth, savory and wild berry aromas pull you into the deep well of minerality on the medium- to full-bodied palate.

The 2020 Burlenberg "La Colline brûlée" offers a deep, rich and very intense yet also finessed and complex bouquet of perfectly ripe and elegant dark and red fruits. Full-bodied, intense and textural on the palate, this is a generous, very intense and warming Pinot with intense fruit and structure, silky tannins and a remarkably saline and complex texture and this salivating salinity. Still young but with great ambitions, this is one of the finest and most complex Alsace Rouges. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

The 2020 Burlenberg is a Pinot Noir with a roughly 5% portion of white Pinot grapes. Grown on limestone on a fault-line with granite, interspersed with volcanic ash, the weathering has created a mixed soil with brown, basic earth. This results in acidic wines, helped along by the altitude of 350 meters—the highest parcel of the domaine. Florality hits with the first sniff, followed by creamy tenderness and a hit of iron oxide and smokiness. The palate is smooth, unfolding like dark silk, yet juicy. This wine used to be so rustic, so exuberant, almost boisterous with much teenage energy; while there are grippy tannins, this has been tamed into elegance, with superb energy still in place. This is firm, structured, lasting and muscular, but so toned and finessed. Bone-dry.

Region: Alsace

Alsace is a particularly fascinating region of France when it comes to wine and wine culture. The long, slender Germanic style bottles we often see coming out of Alsatian wineries have become iconic of the region's wine industry, and for centuries, such bottles have been the favorites of the crowned heads of Europe. Riesling and Gewurztraminer have always been the two primary grapes of Alsace, however, there are nine different varietals permitted by French law, most of them being used to make white wine. Alsace produces over a hundred million liters of wine per year, which are exported across the globe and enjoyed by people seeking a fine wine offering something a little different. As such, Alsace is an important global wine producing region, with a character and set of flavors and features which are all its own.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
