Description of the wine Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 2000 - Vendange Tardive
The small south facing Clos Jebsal was harvested twice, producing first an SGN and then a VT. The overall crop was very small in 2000. Despite the large amount of botrytis, this wine managed to ferment slowly to a high level of finished alcohol for a VT.
Tasting notes
12/2001 : The nose is extremely elegant and subtle (typical of the gypsum soil of the Jebsal) and shows almondy/mineral flavours. The palate is delicate considering the ripeness, and doesn’t express the alcohol or the sweetness to much. Great ageing potential…
The Clos Jebsal of Turckheim
The wines from Clos Jebsal are discreet in their youth, often marked with flinty or smoky aromas. The expression of fruit linked to the concentration by botrytis is coaxed out with some time in bottle
