✨ Technical Specifications
While Maison Trimbach is globally renowned for its legendary white wines, their dedication to Pinot Noir represents a deep connection to Alsace's medieval past, when red wines dominated the region's hillsides. The Pinot Noir Réserve Cuvée 7 is a sophisticated expression of this heritage, sourced from old vines in prime limestone-rich parcels around Ribeauvillé. Named 'Cuvée 7' in honor of a historic vat in the Trimbach cellars, this wine undergoes meticulous temperature-controlled fermentation followed by aging in a combination of stainless steel and traditional large oak foudres. This careful process ensures the preservation of pristine red berry aromatics while imparting a refined structure and subtle earthy complexity, showcasing a more serious, age-worthy side of Alsatian red winemaking.
