For us, the Achillée “Libre” is close to an ideal pinot noir, combining its most unique and its most appealing characteristics in a refined yet accessible profile. Lively berry fruit, earthy warming spices, and a subtle foxy animal element appear in perfect proportion, relatable to benchmark bottles in Burgundy or Willamette Valley, yet entirely its own unique expression. This one shines with classic pinot pairings like roasted turkey as well as with trickier dishes like venison loin or porcini Wellington.
Achillée is an elevated project from the makers of the much-loved Pépin line of Alsatian wines. Just as with Pépin, these are cleanly made, beautifully crafted wines, that really over-deliver for the price!
Certified organic and biodynamic. 100% pinot noir. Scherwiller, Alsace, France.
