Brand | Domaine Bott Frères |
Origin | France, Alsace |
Bott Frères is located in the village of Ribeauvillé, in the heart of Alsace. Since 1835, some of the oldest wine know-how has been transmitted from generation to generation; father to son. The Bott family does not manufacture wine, it cultivates it. On the estate's vineyards, seven varieties are grown and produced in a wide array of soils and the subsequent wines made in a range of styles. The grape harvest is undertaken manually and the output is monitored in order to produce high quality wines. Aging takes place in century old oak casks. The results are some of the most food friendly and distinctive wines from Alsace. Since 2019, the estate has been in transition to organic certification.
Alsace is known for its wonderful white wines, however it does produce some wonderful wines from Pinot Noir. Alsace Pinot is light, fruity and delicately structured with firm acidity and silky tannins, and the Bott Frères is no exception. Bright red cherries and berries combined with a touch of potting soil fill the palate along with mouth watering acidity. Fruity and fresh, this an excellent accompaniment to sausages, mushrooms and exotic foods.
