Production Details Selectively hand-picked fruit was gently whole-cluster pressed. Pinard reports lees maturation in the cool cellar until summer and use of Doppelstück casks rather than stainless steel; Kölner Weinkeller adds spontaneous fermentation and maturation in 2,400-litre Doppelstück wooden casks. The producer's 2022 order form states that wines from vintages since 2008 use biodynamically grown grapes and those since 2012 are organic wine. Kölner recommends serving at 10–12°C.
Tasting Notes Pinard de Picard's 2022 release note describes a taut wine combining fruit, tannin and minerality, with a delicate mineral nose, pronounced spice and considerable complexity.
