Pinot Gris Turckheim 2016

- 91 points -

A very aromatic nose of uncommon complexity offers spices, toffee and baked apple. Then lighter than the rich nose suggests, delivering fresh apple and pear flavors complemented by sweet spices. Long, clean and very fresh, this is almost – dare I say it - Pinot Grigio-like. The wine is made from young vines planted around the new winery building in 1992, and from vines planted in the 80s (save for two parcels from the late 1940s that are normally used to make the estate’s Pinot Gris Vieilles Vignes.)
