Always the most regal and elegant of the quartet of reds from the domaine

Domaine Maurice Schoech Alsace Pinot Auxerrois 'Vieille Vigne' 2023 Woman Owned The one wine in Paolo’sThis wine accounts for over 10% of the domaines production in most vintages and is the first parcel harvested each fall. The vines are all in excess of 35 years of age. The cpage is not actually a Pinot; its origins have been traced to the Mosel; it can also be referred to simply as Auxerrois. The skin has a slightly bitter note, thus pressing is very light to minimize this element. A dry wine, it often carries at most 8 9 grams of residual sugar.
