Description of the wine Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 1998 - Sélection de Grains Nobles
The harmony of 1998 and the small yield contributed to produce a beautiful aromatic SGN, very delicate on the nose. The heavy botrytis doesn’t bring any weight to the wine, despite a very high sweetness, thanks to a racy acidity and open fruit palate. The flavours are very pure, sign of a high quality botrytis. This wine is almost unusually aromatic for the Clos Jebsal. It should age endlessly.
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
