Rotenberg is located near the Hengst Grand Cru on steep slopes with limestone bedrock covered in subsoil rich in iron. It is a late-ripening vineyard ideally suited for dry Pinot Gris.
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 nose is still discreet but reveals aromas of toast, smoke, and white fruits (pear, peach, nectarine) after opening. The palate shines with its delicacy and purity, and a velvety texture.
