Description of the wine Pinot Gris Roche Calcaire 2024
This wine comes from selections made across the different vineyards planted with Pinot Gris on the estate (Jebsal, Heimbourg, and especially Windsbuhl). We separate them according to their age, as is the case every year in Clos Windsbuhl, or we carry out successive passes to sort out grapes at different stages of ripeness (as is the case for Heimbourg and Jebsal in 2024). This is done to include in this cuvée the grapes capable of producing a dry wine with moderate intensity. Pinot Gris is an early-ripening variety (21 days ahead of Riesling, for example) that can overripen very quickly. On a limestone terroir (especially a late ripening one), it will find a better acidity structure, and the grapes will have more time to ripen properly. Just like its cousin Pinot Noir, it is also a variety that can deteriorate very quickly and develop unwanted rot. To produce a great dry wine, all forms of rot must be eliminated, even noble rot, if such a thing still exists… This 2024 vintage was harvested with beautiful harmony, allowing the wine to finish very dry.
Tasting notes
1/2026: Pale yellow color. Discreet nose opening up to aromas of citrus and white fruits, with great finesse. The palate is taut, precise, delicate, and very drinkable. The finish is taut; this is a very dry Pinot Gris, but without any harshness. The mouthfeel is velvety. With medium, almost discreet power, this wine will be very easy to pair with many dishes.
