Mason

Pinot Noir – or Blauburgunder, as we call it – is consid-ered the noblest of all red grape varieties. At the same time, it is also the most demanding: only in the best sites does it reveal its full elegance and finesse.

Mazon – or Mason, as we say. A sunny high plateau at 400–450 m, facing south and constantly refreshed by mountain breezes. This airy location ensures healthy grapes and a long, even ripening period – ideal condi-tions for Pinot Noir.
The vines root deeply in stony moraine deposits inter-laced with dolomite, porphyry, gneiss and granite. A poor, mineral-rich soil that gives the wines tension, precision and unmistakable depth.
We rely on small-berried French clones. The grapes are tiny, the yields intentionally low – yet every berry con-tains pure concentration. The result is Pinot Noirs of great elegance, longevity and character.

2023 put us to the test: a challenging year that required dedication and meticulous work. But the effort was worthwhile – the results are impressive.
After a wet spring came a hot, dry summer. Our vines mastered both surprisingly well. Finally, the golden autumn brought the desired balance and gifted us per-fectly ripe grapes.
The interplay of physiological ripeness, sugar and acidity turned out ideally. The vintage shows ripe fruit, a cool character and moderate alcohol – an expressive wine of elegance and finesse.
Yield: 37 hl/ha – small in quantity, great in expression.

Each parcel is vinified separately – spontaneous fermen-tation with indigenous yeasts, without added sulphur. After a 15% juice removal, maceration lasts around two weeks in open wooden vats. The cap is gently punched down by hand only once a day – extracting the best of the berries without overshadowing Pinot Noir’s delicacy.
The wine then matures for 16 months in barriques, only 20% of them new. During the entire time it rests on the fine lees, gaining complexity, structure and longevity. Finally, the parcels are carefully blended – to create a Pinot Noir that unites elegance and depth.

A bright ruby red in the glass. On the nose, an elegant interplay of raspberry, cranberry and delicate rose pet-als, with a hint of liquorice. On the palate, the Pinot Noir appears elegant and focused: fruit-driven, precise and with a silky tannin flow from start to finish. Not opulent, but full of energy and tension – a wine with nerve, finesse and a clear signature.
Optimum drinking window: from 2026 to 2033.
Recommendation: serve at 16–18 °C in Burgundy glasses. Decanting is advisable in the first years.
Food pairing: a versatile companion to roasted and grilled red meats, game dishes and mature soft cheese.
