Very fresh, with bracing acidity. With some air, the magical gringet texture and flavors emerge. This was delicious and did not taste 9 years old at all.

PNP. Cork perfect. Nose is tight. There is a distinct cider note but maybe peach cider? Never had that but just what I would imagine. Swishing shows this same flavor with a chalkiness and acid that keep it light. Sipping shows richness but the acidity keeps it from being overwhelming. This is compelling wine.

Light golden color. Pear and white flowers on the nose. Simply delicious - there is extract and depth of flavor but the impression is crisp. Serious wine that feels like a cross of Pinot Gris and muscadet. Different and delicious. (91)

Nose is nutty, with pears and fallen apples (lactic rather than malic acid smells I guess). The nose nutty/pear features had me expecting a heavy dense mid palate, but instead, it was light as a feather, and almost effervescent Finish is light and refreshing. Not much acid in the finish, but doesn't need it with all the iightness. It gives the impression of a very low alcohol wine, and sure enough the bottle says 12%. Going back to the nose, it is like a cross between a white Rhône and a Normandy cider. Might be one of my first experiences with gringet, and certainly enjoyed this.
P.S. Did best with a Riedel Chablis glass.

Ausgeprägte Cidre-Note, mineralisch, elegant.
