From Domaine Josmeyer in France’s Alsace region, the Pinot Auxerrois H Vieilles Vignes 2020 is a refined 100% Pinot Auxerrois from 60-year-old vines in a 0.7-hectare parcel in Wintzenheim on marl-limestone soils rich in fossils, imparting exceptional concentration and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the warm yet balanced 2020 vintage—marked by sunny days and cool nights yielding rich, ripe fruit with preserved acidity—undergo whole-bunch pressing over 5-8 hours, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging in large neutral oak foudres to enhance texture while preserving varietal purity. Certified biodynamic since 2000, this production yields a pale gold wine with brilliant clarity and majestic harmony.
Tasting Notes An elegant, textured white with ripe stone fruit and subtle mineral depth, reflecting Alsace's marl-limestone terroir. The nose reveals ripe pear, quince, acacia honey, and hints of flint, toasted almond, and white flowers. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and opulent yet balanced, with vibrant acidity, silky texture, and flavors of baked apple, candied citrus, and subtle earthiness, leading to a long, refined finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2020 Pinot Auxerrois H Vieilles Vignes earned 93 points from Vinous for its expressive depth and structured elegance.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, during which it will develop enhanced truffle and honeyed nuances.
