Description

Let me introduce you to Aurique, a captivating Pinot Noir from Les Vins Pirouettes, nestled in the heart of Alsace, France. This isn't just another bottle of wine; it's a story in a glass, a testament to natural winemaking, and a reflection of the unique terroir of the region. The winery is a part of a cooperative of Alsatian winemakers guided by Christian Binner. The name "Pirouettes" itself hints at the playful and unconventional approach taken by these winemakers. They champion organic and biodynamic practices, eschewing the use of chemicals and additives to create wines that are true to their origin. Think of Aurique as an invitation to explore the purest expression of Pinot Noir. Aurique is crafted with minimal intervention. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with wild yeasts, and aged in neutral oak barrels. The result is a wine that is vibrant, expressive, and brimming with character. The color is a beautiful ruby red, hinting at the freshness within. On the nose, you'll discover aromas of bright red cherries, raspberries, and a subtle hint of earthy forest floor. The palate is equally delightful, with a silky texture and a refreshing acidity that dances on the tongue. The flavors of red fruit are complemented by a touch of spice and a lingering mineral finish. This wine is remarkably versatile. Its light to medium body and bright acidity make it an excellent match for a wide range of dishes. Think of pairing it with roasted chicken or duck, grilled salmon, or earthy mushroom dishes. It's also a fantastic accompaniment to charcuterie and cheese boards, where its vibrant fruit and subtle complexity can truly shine. Aurique embodies the spirit of Alsace, a region where tradition meets innovation. Les Vins Pirouettes are pushing the boundaries of winemaking, creating wines that are both delicious and sustainable. This Pinot Noir is a perfect example of their commitment to quality, transparency, and respect for the land. So, uncork a bottle of Aurique, savor its vibrant flavors, and let it transport you to the picturesque vineyards of Alsace.
