Domaine Bechtold
Comme un Rouge Engelberg Alsace Grand Cru Pinot Gris
Alsace, France
Skin contact Pinot Gris may have you wondering what we have here. Red? White? Rose'? Orange? Maybe the best way to think about this is to think about intent. To me, Comme En Rouge is Orange in style and purpose - obviously not color. Too savory, too woodsy and too herbal for rose'; too much glow for red. There's tannin and grip and structure.
Gorgeous color like cherry candy Mustang with a fresh coat of wax. Beautiful aromatics - maraschino cherry, rosemary, palo santo incense. Layered flavors of cherry, green strawberry, dried orange peel, spicy cinnamon.
A fun pour - something different, something I'll remember.
