Maison Kuehn 2022 Les Caves de l’Enfer Pinot Gris
French White
Golden yellow in colour, with smoke, dried apricot, vineyard peach, undergrowth, melon and yellow fruit. The palate is full, with apricot, a light honey note and freshness on the finish. Pinot Gris grows on clay-limestone slopes at Ammerschwihr with east and southeast exposure. Pneumatic pressing precedes several months on fine lees. Residual sugar is 13.2 grams per litre, and alcohol is twelve percent.
Gustave Lorentz 1989 Pinot Gris Sélection de Grains Nobles
French Dessert
Mahogany colour and a deeply candied character accompany balanced sweetness and preserved-fruit notes. The fruit came from the Altenberg de Bergheim vineyard. This sweet white is made from Pinot Gris in Alsace and bears the Sélection de Grains Nobles designation. Successive selections of noble-rot-affected berries are part of the production, and this Pinot Gris style has extreme concentration.
