Pinot Noir „Heydenreich” 2014 - Becker Friedrich Weingut

Tasting notes

"From a very shallow vineyard above the St Paul plot, Becker's 2014 Heydenreich Spätburgunder opens with a lovely bouquet that is aromatic, pure and elegant, with spicy flavors from the berry skins. Full-bodied, intense and very elegant on the palate, this is a silky textured but firmly structured, vital and tightly woven Pinot Noir with fine, peppery tannins and the fresh vitality of calcareous rocks. The finish is very long, and the wine really sings. This is a great Pinot Noir from a vintage that shouldn't be underrated for Pinot Noir."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

The family owns more than 30 hectare and produces over 12,000 cases annually. Positioned on the very border with France in the town of Schweigen, the Beckers have witnessed that border shifting throughout history. Today, they have vineyards on both the French and German side, at the edge of the Palatinate forest—with 50 percent of their land situated on the French side in Alsace.

Their most prestigious vineyard is Kammerberg, a steep single vineyard on deep marl and limestone near Wissembourg, recovered by Fritz Sr. in 1967 . The old vines with mostly German clones and some French grow on deep marl lime soils that produce powerful but also refined, mineral-driven Pinot Noirs (it is all about the dirt here!); St. Paul cultivated in the 14th-century by the Cistercians of Wissembourg, which had since become overgrown but the Beckers uprooted trees and bushes in early 2000 and planted Spätburgunder; and Sonnenberg, with poor limestone soils ideal for growing Riesling.
