KESSLER PINOT GRIS 2012 AC Alsace Grand Cru |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DOMAINES SCHLUMBERGER |
Bright light yellow colour. Intense, complex, honeyed, spicy, wildflower, melon-apple puree nose with some mineral notes. Very slightly sweet, medium bodied, well structured, spicy, honeyed, wildflower-tinged, ripe melon-lychee-apple purée flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp, unoaked, fairly high acid, mineral-tinged finish. The vendange tardif styled Pinot Gris is quite ready-to-drink. Has 14% alcohol and 10 g/L residual sugar. |

TASTING NOTE: There are mere hints of beeswax and marzipan on the nose. The palate opens into a structured, bright and well-lit space of pear peel, pear juice and a wonderfully bitter edge. This is off-dry and concentrated, definite but with a light touch. There is an intriguing hint of bitter orange peel that draws you in and pull this onto a higher plane.
