2018 was the very first vintage for this young French - Colombian couple in Albé (the only mountainous zone in Alsace) and the results are impressive. This is their high end Pinot Gris from the Steinacker vineyard at over 400 meters of altitude on schistuous soils. A blend of 3 different vinification techniques (stainless steel, oak and amphora) that has spent 9 months on the lees. Beautiful nose of white peach and flowers, with an uncommon minerality. Concentrated and juicy with real depth and impressive length, this is the most exciting Pinot Gris I have tasted in a long time from a region where this grape is way too often characterised by excessive residual sugar. Abv. 14,5 %.

Remarkable volume - with enough chisel to counter the 14.5%.
