Tasting notes

A rich yet elegant Pinot Gris which perfectly balances sweetness and acidity. Brimming with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus peel, a marked minerality gives texture to the palate and lingers on the finish.

Vintage information

An extremely mild winter in Alsace in 2006 was followed by a very hot spring in 2007, and a warm, fresh summer with low rainfall in August. September was dry, with warm days and cold nights, which were perfect for the slow development of sugars and flavours. Grapes were harvested in the second half of September. 2007 is a very good vintage with a lot of delicacy and freshness, very typical of the Alsatian style; the firm but not high level of acidity promises great ageing potential.
