Tasting notes
From 45-year-old vines on Muschelkalk (shell limestone) in a higher, cooler, south/southeast-facing medium slope, the bright golden colored 2014 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl opens with a beautifully clear, ripe and smoky flavored 2014 bouquet of ripe berries, seed fruits and oranges. Full-bodied and silky on the palate, this is a highly elegant, piquant and salty, but also fruit-intense Pinot with great purity, finesse and tension. The finish is dry and impressively long, structured by fine tannins and a prickling minerality. The 2014 shows a gorgeous definition of ripe and concentrated fruits, and is perfectly balanced and noble in its flow of the palate. Bottled in August with 14% alcohol and seven grams of residual sugar per liter, this is a great Pinot Gris from one of the grape's greatest terroirs.
