"This brilliant, dry wine will go a long way (RVF)".
"A hint of honeyed gingerbread accompanies the juicy pear and yellow plum notes on the nose. The palate is soft, fluid and energetic, like a wave of refreshing energy and power, but without heaviness. A lovely freshness accentuates the juicy, zesty lemon zest" (Vinous 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
André Ostertag is one of the region's most engaging winemakers. A convinced biodynamist who is constantly questioning his viticultural practices, he cultivates his beautiful plots in Fronholz and Grand Cru Muenchberg with extreme care. The range delights from start to finish, the domaine being one of the very best specialists in pinot gris, which it succeeds like few others in Alsace, notably the splendid cuvée de muenchberg A360P, whose curious name comes from the parcel in the land register... André's son Arthur returned to the domaine in 2016, and vinified the 2017s with his father before taking sole charge in 2018, as André had to take a step back. The new les-jardins range now replaces the previous barriques and cuvée-d'epfig ranges, and covers all grape varieties.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 95/100
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the wine:
Still on the reserve, Fronholz Pinot Gris seduces with its freshness, delicate texture and harmony: this brilliant, dry wine will go a long way.
About the domain :
2018 marked a turning point for the domaine, with André Ostertag's son Arthur taking charge. With a sensitivity for whites as acute as his father's, he brought his own touch to the table in 2016 and is now driving a new momentum, with a renewed team gradually being put in place. The family farms fine plots in the Zellberg and Fronholz terroirs, in the Muenchberg Grand Cru, not forgetting Clos Mathis, on the Hagel in Ribeauvillé. Every Alsace connoisseur should know this estate, whose wines are a pleasure to drink. The ageing potential of all the cuvées is undeniable, but the fruit is immediately accessible in the Jardins range, for example. The result of twenty years of biodynamic vineyard management, complemented by precise, pure vinification.

About the wine:
Pinot Gris Fronholz 2021 was fermented and aged in used parts. A hint of honeyed gingerbread accompanies the juicy pear and yellow plum notes on the nose. The palate is soft, fluid and energetic, like a wave of refreshing energy and power, but without heaviness. A lovely freshness accentuates the juicy, zesty lemon zest (bone dry).
