ALSACE, FRANCE
The 2022 Pinot Gris comes with an attractive, reductive smokiness. The beautiful, ripe pear notions come through on the palate. This is bone-dry, yet the fruit shines. Bright, fresh and bone-dry. (Bone-dry)
 
89 Points, Wine Enthusiast:
Medium-bodied and expressive, with flavors of apple pie, vanilla bean, and subtle earl grey tea. The palate is balanced and lively, showing a savory note emerging on the finish. Approachable yet layered, with gentle complexity and a clean, lingering close. — Aleks Zecevic
