June 11, 2017 - Tasting at Léon Beyer, Eguisheim: From 75cl in LB tasting room, Eguisheim. I'm not normally a fan of statistics, but this tastes just like you'd expect an Alsace PG with 13% alc and 13g residual sugar to taste: One sip is enough, one glass is too much, and the very thought of trying to drink a second glass is appalling. Cloying stuff. 35,45 EUR. Not rated.

November 5, 2007 - Lovely VT TPG. Golden in color, very sprightly nose of dried apricots and honey. Exceptionally fresh and rather sweet without being cloying with intense peach, apricot, honey, minerals.

1/23/2008 (link)(Leon Beyer Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive) This really suprised everyone at the table how good it was. I will admit I prefer my Pinot Gris to be from Southern Germany and to be called Grauburgunder but this was very good. It was ripe, rich and had a nice intense lemon vibe on the palate. Good purity and balance. Matched great with the food. Toned done some of the spicey flavors. I did not spend that much time with it but the glass I had I enjoyed very much.
