Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, off-dry
Pinot Gris from an Alsace grand cru is a different creature from the Italian version of the grape: low-yielding vines on the region's best slopes give a broad, weighty, faintly smoky white with ripe pear and apricot, honey, ginger spice and a mineral core. Alsace grand cru Pinot Gris is very often left with a few grams of residual sugar, so it reads richer than dry even when balanced — a wine for the richer end of the table rather than an aperitif. The record does not name which grand cru this comes from, so the description stays at the level the record supports.
