Tasting notes
From a couple of vineyards, one next to Osterberg. Acidity 6.2 g/l, and RS 15 g/l. This sounds weird, but the flavours of this wine start off like flat-white coffee with a shot of caramel! Then peppermint cream giving way to masses of purple florals – irises and violets. It’s a little bit heady; ‘boudoir’, in a good way. It’s curvy and caressing, creamy and languid, with long, breathy warmth lingering on the end. Very complex, very unusual, very striking. (TC)

Assembled in the very best plots of the domaine and made only in great vintages, Trimbach's bright-colored 2017 Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle opens with a clear, fresh and aromatic bouquet of fully ripe white fruit with hints of caramel. Mouth-filling and round on the palate, this is a complex and vivaciously mineral Pinot Gris with stimulating grip and tension on the long and powerful yet also elegant, persistently saline and lemony finish. This is a superb Pinot Gris that luckily did not ferment to fully dry but to remarkable balance. This is a great Alsace Pinot Gris to be served with lobster, poultry or white meats. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023.
