For me, this 2018 is past its prime and does not represent the style I like to drink my alsatian Pinot Gris. The acidity holds just barely, and the boytris-like overripe sweetness is taking too much hold. Acidity didn't last to second day. Drink this vintage away during 2024.

This wine was ordered by the glass in a restaurant where the bottle (with a cork enclosure) was freshly popped and poured in full view. Medium golden, limpid and immediately aromatic, it flaunts a bouquet of white peaches, bosq pears, rose petals, wildflower honey and coriander. Medium-bodied, medium in acidity and without any heat from its 13.5% alcohol, it is an off-dry white with flavors that mirror the nose. Solid in the middle, it moves on to a lengthy, albeit somewhat cloying finish. This is an enjoyable wine that sells at an attractive price, but it would have benefitted from a bit more balancing acidity. Drink now-2028.

Golden elixir color.
Punch you in the face ripeness of the bat. Honey, melon, clean spring feels.
On the plate a much more expressive Alsace wine than expected. Ripe fruits of pear, and home grown grapes.
Balanced. Beautiful. Lord of flavor.
