Jean-Baptiste Adam - Pinot Gris Letzenberg 2016 (demi-sec)
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
93/100
Wine Enthusiast
"From a steep hillside with clay-limestone soils, a cuvée of moelleux often noticed. Straw-yellow with golden highlights, the 2016 delighted the jurors with its powerful, sunny nose of yellow flowers and mango. Candied citrus fruit completes this aromatic palette in a palate of rare elegance: the attack, with its assertive roundness, is balanced by a frank acidity that underlines the long finish marked by a hint of salinity".

About the wine:
From a steep hillside with clay-limestone soils, a cuvée of moelleux that often gets noticed. Straw-yellow with golden highlights, the 2016 delighted jurors with its powerful, sunny nose of yellow flowers and mango. Candied citrus fruit completes this aromatic palette in a palate of rare elegance: the attack, with its assertive roundness, is balanced by a frank acidity that underlines the long finish marked by a hint of salinity.
About the domain :
Located in Ammerschwihr, an important wine-growing village northwest of Colmar, this house celebrated its four hundredth anniversary in 2014. Its 17th-century cellars house old oak tuns still in use today. It combines a trading structure with a biodynamic estate.

About the wine:
Ripe pear notes possess a velvety aura mingled 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 freshness and concentration. The finish is dry and long.
