Mure's serious Pinot Noir from the Clos Saint Landelin monopole on Vorbourg. The V is the cuvee bottled when Vorbourg-grown Pinot Noir warranted a Grand-Cru-quality cuvee, though officially labelled Alsace AOC.

What it pairs with

With cheese

Cœur de Massif Our pick Alsace Pinot Noir is medium-bodied, with bright acidity and modest tannin, so it meets the supple, creamy paste of a mild pressed cheese without drying it out or covering its flavour.

How to serve Rene Mure Clos Saint Landelin Vorbourg Pinot Noir V

Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Roast duck, Coq au Riesling, Munster cheese. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
