Origin

Produced in the Alsace region of France, Joseph Cattin is a renowned cooperative winery located in the heart of Alsace, known for its quality wines that reflect the terroir of the region.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, a red grape variety celebrated for its elegance and complexity.

Production

The Pinot Noir Vieilli en Pièce undergoes traditional vinification methods with careful aging in oak barrels ("pièce" refers to a traditional 228-liter oak barrel). This barrel aging imparts subtle oak characteristics and enhances the wine's structure and complexity.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Bright ruby red color with medium intensity.
  • Aroma: Delicate bouquet featuring red fruit aromas such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice from oak aging.
  • Palate: Smooth and elegant with balanced acidity, fine tannins, and a lingering finish showcasing fruity and oaky nuances.

Food pairings

  • Grilled or roasted poultry such as duck or chicken.
  • Light red meat dishes like veal or pork tenderloin.
  • Mushroom-based dishes and earthy flavors.
  • Soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert.
