Description of the wine Pinot Gris Heimbourg 1996
Healthy harvest, with no botrytis, but beautiful concentrated grapes. This vineyard shows how a calcareous soil can combine richness and strong spicy mineral flavors, thanks to an high acidity. Very long wine
The Heimbourg of Turckheim
The wines produced on the Heimbourg are rich, opulent, often spicy and can include noble rot. The slower ripening of the grapes often produces wines that are aromatically expressive from a young age, contrary to its neighbour the Clos Jebsal with whom we have to show patience.
