Pinot Noir Clos Saint Landelin, Muré 2022

0 Reviews

A wine of concentration and layers of complexity with lots of spice and wild flower perfume. Aged in 500-litre demi-muid barrels, the tannins are structured and classy. You will not be disappointed if you age this wine a little while. It comes from a special monopole, i.e. solely owned by the family, a 330-metres altitude site on limestone iron-rich soils here the vines were sourced from Tollot-Beaut in Burgundy, and the 'clos' is perfectly situated within the southern end of the grand cru Vorbourg vineyard. The vineyard has real pedigree having been considered, officially, among the best in Alsace as long ago as the 8th century CE.

Domaine Muré

Muré is an important house in southern Alsace with origins going back to 1650. Today the 12th generation is in charge making wines biodynamically and with a particular strength in red wines.

The cellars and tasting room are just outside the town of Rouffach, south of Colmar. Historically this area which is particularly dry and sunny was far better known for its reds than its whites and that tradition continues today. Softly spoken and thoughtful René Muré has passed the baton to his two children, Véronique (sales and management) and Thomas (winemaking), though he is never far away, especially at harvest time.

The jewel in their crown is the famous Clos Saint Landelin. This vineyard is situated within the grand cru Vorbourg, and was named after an Irish saint who reputedly settled here in the ninth century to preach the gospel. Most varieties do well here but the best is probably pinot noir; so much so that it is likely that red wines will be among the first to be granted grand cru status.
