Sophie Schaal - Alsace Pinot Gris 2024
93+/100
Robert Parker
"Beautiful texture!"
Sophie treats us once again with this new vintage of Pinot Gris, which remains as fresh, balanced, and long-finishing as ever—making it the perfect example of a Pinot Gris that’s accessible to everyone, thanks to its very reasonable price. The result is a bouquet of white flowers, pear, and subtle sweet spices, with hints of fennel and brioche. A true treat!

About the estate:
Alongside a wine trading venture in South Africa, Julien Schaal set up his Alsatian business in 2011, a highly original venture since it is exclusively based on the purchase of grapes from grand cru vineyards. Currently, nine grands crus are on the menu, representing almost all the different types of soil in the region, and only Riesling is offered, with the exception of a Gewurztraminer from Osterberg and a blend from Altenberg in Bergheim. In a blind tasting, his 2017 wines blew us away. Hats off!
