Jean-Baptiste Adam - Pinot Gris Letzenberg 2016 (demi-sec)
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
93/100
Wine Enthusiast
"Produced on a steep hillside with clay-limestone soils, this sweet wine is often highly regarded. Straw yellow in color with golden highlights, the 2016 vintage delighted the judges with its powerful, sunny nose of yellow flowers and mango. Candied citrus fruits complete this aromatic palette on the palate, which is exceptionally elegant: the attack is assertively round, balanced by a frank acidity that underscores the long finish marked by a hint of salinity." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

About the estate:
Located in Ammerschwihr, an important wine-growing village northwest of Colmar, this estate celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2014. Its 17th-century cellars house old oak casks that are still in use today. It combines a wine merchant business with a biodynamically farmed estate.

About wine:
Notes of ripe pear have a velvety aura mixed with notes of baked apple and sweet vanilla spice. The round palate reveals a pleasant texture and residual sugars that make the pear and apple even rounder. The whole is very well balanced between beautiful freshness and concentration. The finish is dry and long.
