The wine region of Ahr
Small German valley south of Bonn, the country's largest contiguous single red-grape zone. Signature Spatburgunder (Pinot Noir) (>60%): elegant, structured reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and sweet spice, silky tannins and taut freshness — Burgundian style in an improbable climate. Also early Fruhburgunder, fleshier. ~560 ha on steep slopes over schist and slate, sheltered temperate microclimate.
The word of the wine: Grand Cru
In Burgundy, the fourth and final level of classification (above the regional, communal and premier cru appellations), designating the wines produced on delimited plots of land (the climats) whose name alone constitutes the appellation. The climats classified as Grand Cru are 32 in the Côte d'Or plus one in Chablis which is divided into 7 distinct climats. Representing barely 1.5% of the production, the Grand Crus are the aristocracy of Burgundy wines.
