Domaine Bott-Geyl - Alsace Points Cardinaux Métiss 2022

The perfectionist Jean-Christophe Bott is one of Alsace’s leading winemakers. He is dedicated to meticulous work both in the cellar and in the vineyard, which is cultivated using biodynamic methods. While it consisted of just 4 hectares when it was founded in 1953, the estate now owns 15 hectares, spread across seven municipalities. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, with their richness well-balanced and without the slightest hint of heaviness—particularly in the Pinot Gris wines, which are definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée possesses both power and a long finish, two qualities that contribute to their fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers slightly aged vintages for sale and has recently begun renting out vacation cottages.

The 2022 Points Cardinaux Métiss is a blend composed of 35% Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, complemented by 15% Pinot Gris and 15% Pinot Noir. The aroma and flavor are dominated by ripe pear. The body is light, smooth, and bursting with sun-kissed fruit and a real sense of brightness. It is superbly crisp and very juicy. (Very dry)
