Kumpf et Meyer 2018 Alsace "Infrarouge" (Pinot Noir)

Kumpf et Meyer 2018 Alsace Restons Nature Pet-Nat

 Julien Albertus makes this wine from direct press Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris. The latest iteration has a subtle peachy hue, with a bit of Blanc de Noirs-type richness on the palate. Should pair brilliantly with food, but has enough body and texture to satisfy on its own too. Good acidity, but definitely a real wine with finesse and balance.  -Eben
