2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

Pinot Gris
powerful
dense
long finale
sweet

This is not the first sweet wine from the estate to catch the attention of our judges. This one stands out from the crowd. A golden yellow color with amber highlights, a concentrated, powerful, complex nose, with notes of candied quince and honey: a sign of rare richness, which is confirmed on the palate. Density, power, opulence—everything points to great substance, not to mention a touch of freshness that adds dynamism and length. (Residual sugar: 202 g/l, 50 cl bottles.)" (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022). A festive delight!

About wine:

This is not the first sweet wine from the estate to catch the attention of our judges. This one rises to the top. A golden yellow color with amber highlights, a concentrated, powerful, complex nose, with notes of candied quince and honey: the promise of rare richness, which is confirmed on the palate. Density, power, opulence—everything points to great substance, not to mention a touch of freshness that gives it dynamism and length. (Residual sugar: 202 g/l, 50 cl bottles.)

About the estate:

In 2006, oenologist Pierre Scharsch purchased this former 17th-century property in the Barr region, restructured the vineyard, and began converting the estate to organic farming in 2016. The estate now covers 11 hectares.

A little disappointing for a noble grape variety! Well made but lacking complexity... Perhaps it needs time?
