Pinot Gris Grand Cru Brand Josmeyer (Domaine) 2016

The wine

The Brand Grand Cru comes from the edge of Turckheim, featuring two principle terroirs; the granite Steinglitz and the limestone Schneckelsbourg. The residual sugar (10g) in this cuvée is well integrated and barely perceptible to taste. This wine is superb after 3-12 years in the cellar: full-bodied, structured and elegant with a lip-smacking bitter finish.
