Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, sweet
Vendanges Tardives from the Zotzenberg grand cru at Mittelbergheim — Pinot Gris picked late and shrivelled on the vine, giving concentrated quince and dried apricot over honey, smoke and baking spice, with a rich, unctuous palate. The limestone-marl of Zotzenberg keeps enough tension to stop the sweetness cloying. VT is a legally defined ripeness level in Alsace, not a stylistic label.
