  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    The nose is shy, hinting at ripeness via distant pear that gets more distinct with more air. The palate is both smooth and linear adding freshness to a rather fluid wine, held together like fine gauze by concentration and defined phenolics. It is an unusual and gently-fruited style of Pinot Gris, bone-dry and very ripe. (Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous, Nov 2023)
