Pinot Noir Fût de Chêne is an elegant, fruity and juicy red wine from François Lipp et Fils, located in Alsace in eastern France. The wine is made of 100% organic Pinot Noir grapes and has a bright garnet red colour and fruity aromas and flavours of roses, red cherries, strawberries and raspberries as well as earth, flint and cedarwood. The body is light and smooth with a velvety texture balanced with a good acidity and a long, harmonious and mineral finish. The wine is best served slightly chilled at 9-12 ° C and goes perfectly with light dishes such as chicken, charcuterie, pie, vegetarian dishes as well as with fish given its smoothness. It can also be enjoyed on its own before and after dinner.
 
The Lipp Family has been making wine for generations since 1790 in the historic village Husseren-les-Chateaux in the southern Alsace region Haut-Rhin, surrounded by vineyards on the slopes of the Vosges Mountains. The Haut-Rhin region has for the longest time been associated with the best vineyards of Alsace. We have here vineyards located at the highest altitude in the whole Alsace region, as well as most of the prestigious Alsace Grand Cru vineyards. The Lipp family owns no less than three Grand Cru vineyards. It is essential for Jean-François Lipp, the wine maker and head of the house, to grow the vineyards organically not only with respect of nature and biodiversity, but also to create authentic wines that express this unique terroir. Jean-François takes care of every process in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. The elevation of the vineyards is in many ways an advantage, especially when cultivating organic grapes with no use of chemical products to protect the vines from diseases. While the moist climate in Alsace is a challenge for wine growers located in the lower areas, the intense sun exposure on the high slopy location quickly dries the morning mist, always keeping the grapes healthy and in perfect condition.
