Description
La rigueur du paysage alpin et l’attachement historique au terroir suisse se marient avec brio dans le Donatsch Pinot Noir Unique, l’expression la plus raffinée et la plus aristocratique du vignoble de Malans, dans la région des Grisons. Issu de cépages exceptionnels implantés dans le vignoble emblématique de Selvenen, ce vin rouge incarne l’interprétation la plus pure du Pinot noir dans les Grisons. Profond, velouté et doté d’une note fumée d’ une noblesse minérale marquée, il représente l’un des sommets de ce cépage d’origine bourguignonne sur le sol suisse.

L'avis des experts
Drawn exclusively from the estate’s Selvenen vineyard, the grapes are entirely destemmed before classical fermentation. The cooler 2021 was matured for 12 months in 100% new French oak and exudes dark cherry, wild forest berries and clove, with a subtle dance of smoke. The palate balances density with fine, silky tannins and measured power. The memorable finish reveals signature minerality. Each label bears portraits of the Donatsch team, including the late Thomas Donatsch.
Aromatic, showing dried and freshly sliced strawberries with hints of cedar and roses. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a bright, subtle finish of fruit and minerals. A smoky, bitter undertone as well. Very complex. Drink or hold.
Complex bouquet with cool forest berry aromas, notes of ripe plum and sour cherry confit. Also hints of clove, hibiscus blossoms and smoky, savoury nuances. Elegant on the palate, with beautiful cherry fruit and dark savoury notes. Silky tannins, long finish.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Malans Unique opens with a coolish and herbal bouquet with leafy notes and redcurrant aromas and indicates a less generous wine compared to the 2022. The 2021 is less juicy on the palate and characterized more by its transparency, frisky finesse and tension than juiciness and suppleness. The wine is still a bit thrifty on the palate at this early stage and reminiscent of the 2010, but it indicates more intensity and power. The concentrated and dense 2021, with its astringent tannins and firm acidity structure, is definitely a wine to age. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2024.
