Why shop with us?
Made from Domaine Paul Schneider’s oldest Pinot Noir vines around Eguisheim, this Vieilles Vignes bottling offers extra depth and concentration compared with a classic Alsace Pinot Noir. It also reflects the Schneider family’s generations-long work in the region, where they produce wines shaped by local terroir.
Tasting Notes
The wine is an intense ruby red. Its expressive nose combines ripe cherry and darker berry aromas with discreet oak notes. On the palate, juicy red-fruit flavours meet soft tannins and a gentle touch of spice from oak ageing, while fresh acidity and mineral structure bring balance and length.
No specific ageing window is provided. Its concentration and structure make it a more substantial expression of Alsace Pinot Noir, while the fresh, fruit-led profile is also appealing to enjoy while young.
Production
The Pinot Noir comes from old vines around Eguisheim, rooted in marl and limestone soils. Their lower yields contribute to the wine’s concentration and depth. It is partly aged in oak barrels; details about harvesting methods and the vinification process are not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve at 14–16°C with duck breast, veal, poultry, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or mature cheeses. A brief airing before serving may help the wine’s aromas open up; no specific decanting guidance is provided.
Producer
Domaine Paul Schneider is a family producer in Alsace whose wines have been made across generations. The domaine’s work around Eguisheim highlights the region’s terroir, and its Vieilles Vignes Pinot Noir showcases the depth that can come from older vines.
