2021 Albert Mann Pinot Noir Grand H

The 2021 Albert Mann Pinot Noir Grand H is a landmark wine in every sense, capturing the essence of Alsace’s Grand Cru Hengst vineyard in a way that redefines what Pinot Noir from this region can achieve. Crafted from over 40-year-old biodynamically grown vines rooted in marly-calcareous sandstone, this wine is an unmissable expression of both site and craftsmanship.

This is Pinot Noir on a grand scale, with a profound earthiness that immediately sets it apart. Aromas of orange zest and bitter chocolate emerge with aeration, layered over a tapestry of summer flowers and berries. The palate is intensely powerful yet refined, with tannins that provide structure and a juicy, enticing core. It lingers endlessly, leaving an indelible impression.

We’re thrilled to offer the last few bottles of this remarkable vintage—one that’s already making history as the first to bear the Grand Cru Hengst designation for reds. It’s an ode to the precision and vision of the Albert Mann estate, offering Burgundian-level depth and complexity at a fraction of the price.

Drinkable now for those who enjoy youthful vibrancy, but we’d recommend cellaring until 2025 to fully unlock its grandeur. A wine of this calibre is as rare as it is extraordinary—don’t miss your chance to experience it.

"This stands out from the moment you bring the glass up to your nose thanks to the profound earthiness that comes from the Grand Cru Hengst site. With aeration aromas of orange zest and bitter chocolate develop. Imposing stature thanks to the monumental tannin structure and full body, but it is also juicy and sensual. Huge rooty, moderately dry finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."
