Description of the wine Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 1997
The full south exposure, the warmest and most precocious micro-climate, the terraced vineyard are responsible for producing the ripest grapes every single year. As usual, this wine was harvested after an SGN made the same day. Classic 97: powerful, with residual sweetness much less apparent than normal for this hillside. The perfect acidity comes from the rich marl gypsum soil. It is a rich wine, but extremely aromatic in 1997.
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
