Amélie & Charles Sparr Pinot Noir Jardin d'Eden Altenbourg 2022

Whole-bunch vinification from massal Pommard selection planted in 2013, aged in a single 500-liter barrel. Tart red berry and crushed stone on the nose, with a faint savory, lactic edge that adds intrigue. The palate is lean and precise, red-fruited through and through, but the firm tannins grip hard right now — a clear signature of 2022's density. There's real creaminess underneath that softens the finish into something genuinely long and promising. Give it time.
