Tasting Notes

Aroma

The nose is frank, pleasant, intense, elegant. Open, one perceives a dominant of candied, overripe scents of yellow fruits, quince, mirabelle plum, apricot jelly, and a slight complex smoky hint. Airing enhances the previous aromas and reveals honey and an underlying floral character. The nose shows a beautiful complexity, proof of the superb quality of the raw material. The rendering is splendid.

Appearance

The robe is a golden yellow with light reflections, of beautiful intensity. The disk is bright, limpid, transparent.

Palate

The onset in the mouth is ample, dense and fleshy. Mellow, the alcohol support is full-bodied. One evolves on a medium with a frank, incisive vivacity marked by a sparkling note. The range of aromas is reminiscent of the nose, dominated by candied scents, yellow fruits, apricot, mirabelle plum, quince jelly, acacia honey, wax and, as a watermark, this complex smoky hint. The finish has a beautiful length, 8-9 caudalies and a fine, persistent and powerful vivacity. The structure of this wine is monumental. Tasty, powerful, perfectly built. Botrytis provides it with dimension.

Vinification

The Pinot Gris Grand Cru Kitterl was harvested manually in wooden crates, on 18th October 2010. Entire grapes are pressed, with static racking. Fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns for one to four months. Matured on fine lees during eight months.
