From: Alsace, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
The Adam estate is located in the heart of Alsace in the village of Ammerschwihr, which enjoys an exceptional microclimate of sunny, warm, and dry days that guarantee ideal conditions for growing grapes. The region also receives the least amount of yearly rainfall, only about 500 mm per year. This ensures gradual ripening of the grapes and extremely aromatic wines. The wines of Adam come from slopes with optimum exposure to sunlight. The vineyards are a mosaic of terroir and minerals consisting of gneiss, granite, shale, and sandstone.
Tasting Notes: On the nose, it expresses notes of currants and red fruits. On the palate, fine bubbles will caress your palate to let appear then the fleshy side of the fruit. All wines from JB Adam are Bio-dynamically farmed.
"Creamy, mellow notes of red apple charm the nose. The palate of this wine rounds things out with some brioche notes and a generous mouthfeel of creamy, lively bubbles. The finish is poised, bright, and wonderfully apple-fresh in its dryness." –Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points
