Description of the wine Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal - Vendange Tardive 2016
Tasting notes
8/2017: intense gold colour. As noble rot was in small proportion, the nose remains very fruity and elegant for such a wine. There are lots of white fruit, peach, apricots aromatics and only a little honey on the nose. The palate doesn’t come as a surprise, the nose has already announced a seductive and gently sweet mouth. Nice length, but no unnecessary weight. This wine will go far and should keep its seductive and harmonious balance.
The Brand Grand Cru of Turckheim
In the Brand, this variety acquires finesse and elegance (floral and fruit aromas) without ever becoming coarse or too heavy. The Brand always surprises by the precocity of its wines, but whilst expressive young they also have a great ability to age. The nature of this terroir makes it easy to obtain an optimal ripeness whilst retaining a fine acidity
