Pinot Gris Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim
Tasting Notes
This Grand Cru Pinot Gris has a complex nose with typical smoked notes, followed by quince, peach, mango and gingerbread aromas. The palate is ample and impressively round, balanced by a nice freshness and superb acidity.
Vineyards
This Pinot Gris is from Gustave Lorentz’s Grand Cru vineyard, Altenberg of Bergheim. The vineyard’s soil is primarily composed of clay and limestone and is home to 30–50-year-old vines. The pride of Bergheim winegrowers, the Altenberg has been renowned for its fine wines since the end of the 13th century.
Vintage Notes
The 2015 season offered mild winter temperatures and above average precipitation. Warm weather gave way to rain in mid-August, triggering a growth spurt. The vines were in perfect health at the time of harvest. These conditions point to an excellent vintage.
