A zesty Pinot Gris, with a lively mix of star fruit, Mandarin orange peel, anise, melon ball and a salty underpinning. It’s sleek and well-knit, with a lasting finish, fresh and floral.
Lighter and more subtle in flavor than typical Pinot Gris, this wine offers delicate notes of ripe pear, white flowers, and a hint of almond. The balance is impeccable, with a crisp acidity that gives the wine a sense of freshness and lift, while the finish lingers with a quiet, mineral-driven complexity.
The palate is amazingly taut and bright, but so unlike Pinot Gris. This is amongst the most streamlined and pure Pinot Gris I have ever tasted. What a wine. It is a testament to the limestones of this site and the absolute verve and energy that the Humbrechts bring.
The 2021 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl has a flicker of reduction and shows off subtle russet pear, ripe and gentle. The palate has a pear peel texture and seems almost austere with its bone-dryness. A lemon touch makes the mouth water and becomes more intense towards the dry finish, which holds some gingerbread spice, ginger and cinnamon. Gorgeous and different.
A rich and vibrant pinot gris that manages to also be light, delicate and graceful. Very deep and cool finish that pulls you down into dark ocean waters where you encounter the mystery of this great wine.
