Pinot gris has the reputation of being easygoing, but this dry pinot gris from Alsace has enormous energy and vitality. The staggering citrusy juiciness electrifies the super-concentrated, medium-bodied palate. At this stage in the wine’s very long life, the finish is a wild ride thanks to the chalky intensity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Long and drawn out, with a harmonious stream of heather, anise, dried apricot and mandarin. Creamy and briny, with salty mineral accents soaring through. Fluid, with spicy ginger notes enlivening the racy finish, marked by bitter bergamot and lime peel. Excellent, with a perfect mix of richness and energy. Drink now through 2032. - KB
