Domaine Amelie & Charles Sparr Carpe Diem Pinot Noir Alsace

Domaine Amélie and Charles Sparr’s Carpe Diem Pinot Noir is a perfect introduction to the world of cool-climate Pinot Noir; highlighting the varietal’s finesse and the unique terroir of Alsace’s clay-limestone soils. The vineyard sites are carefully selected for optimal sun exposure and drainage, and the grapes are hand-harvested before undergoing gentle destemming and fermentation in stainless steel to preserve aromatic clarity and freshness. The wine displays a translucent ruby color and opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle floral notes of rose and violet, layered with gentle earthy and mineral undertones. On the palate, Carpe Diem is elegant and medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit flavors framed by bright, precise acidity and fine-grained tannins that provide structure without heaviness. The finish is clean and persistent, revealing hints of spice and a minerality profile that reflects its Alsatian origin. Through careful vineyard selection, minimal intervention, and controlled winemaking, this Pinot Noir achieves a balance of freshness, expression, and versatility, pairing beautifully with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or enjoyed on its own as a lively, approachable red.
