Description of the wine Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 2000 - Sélection de Grains Nobles
The Clos Jebsal was harvested with higher potential than the other two SGNs produced in 2000, but the fermentation being more active it actually finishes with the same sweetness. It was relatively easy to select botrytis in 2000 in this vintage, so our aim was not to break ripeness record, but keep elegance and harmony.
Tasting notes
12/2001 : Therefore the selection wasn’t too hard, keeping some healthy grapes in the crop. The result is a wine which is still powerful but shows a lot of the mineral character of the Jebsal and not so much the botrytis flavours, which are at the moment quite discreet in the wine.
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
