Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 2024
Trade Tools
France / Alsace
Jebsal means "gypsum". This small Clos of 1.29 ha, created by Léonard Humbrecht in the early 1980s, rests on an early Trias limestone substrate (Keuper) rich in gypsum. The soil is deep and there is a large presence of clay (blue in color) between the gypsum layers. Facing south, on a steep slope, it is an early and sunny terroir, but whose cold and deep soil has the capacity to slow down ripening and allows the grapes to maintain a beautiful balance.

2024 vintage
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage will certainly be remembered as an unusual one which defied climate change. Rainfall was 30% to 50% above average and extremely high temperatures were largely avoided. Well-drained soils were key to achieving consistent fermentations.
Tasting Note
The gypsum marl soils of Jebsal give this wine no chance to express itself in its youth! The palate is full-bodied and resonates with precision and purity. Velvety texture but with a firm and tense finish.
