The Griesel LR Pinot Noir Prestige Brut Nature 2020 is an impressive sparkling wine that demonstrates how expressive and refined a Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot Noir can be.

What speaks for the Griesel LR Pinot Noir Prestige Brut Nature 2020:
- Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) – gently pressed for maximum clarity.

- Style: Brut Nature – disgorged in June 2025 without dosage, puristic, lean, and precise.
Late Release – Patience You Can Taste
The LR Pinot Noir Prestige 2020 was allowed to age on its lees much longer than classic sparkling wines. The resting period of 47 months on the lees gives it density, maturity, and an aromatic profile that opens layer by layer. The yeast notes are finely interwoven, not dominant – they lend the sparkling wine a creamy texture, elegance, and impressive length, without overshadowing its clear lines.
Aroma & Taste
On the nose, delicate aromas of red apple skin, wild cherry, brioche, and a hint of toasted nut unfold. On the palate, it is powerful yet feather-light: fresh acidity, saline minerality, and subtle berry notes combine to create a multifaceted, precise flavor profile. The Brut Nature style underscores its straightforwardness and allows the Pinot Noir to shine in its purest form.
A Prestige Sparkling Wine for Special Moments
The Griesel LR Pinot Noir Prestige Brut Nature 2020 is an excellent companion to elegant dishes such as tuna tartare, sushi, carpaccio, fine poultry dishes, or mild cheeses. At the same time, it is an impressive aperitif for special occasions – clear, precise, and with impressive length. A sparkling wine that demonstrates the masterful art of German sparkling wine production.
