This is a Pinot Noir from Alsace, France, made by Kuentz-Bas and sold under the Alsace appellation.
Maison Kuentz-Bas was established by the Kuentz family in 1795, and a marriage joining the Kuentz and Bas families in 1895 shaped the domaine as it is today. It sits in Husseren-les-Châteaux, one of the highest points in Alsace, with ten hectares of vineyards stretching out from the village. Jean-Baptiste Adam, a vigneron from a family winemaking tradition that began as early as 1614, bought the property in 2004. He lowered yields significantly and moved to organic and biodynamic vineyard work. Winemaker Samuel Tottoli, who also joined in 2004, favors hard work in the vineyards and minimal work in the cellar. He uses reduced sulfur and a drier fermentation, which gives crisp, mineral wines with less residual sugar.
