Rolly Gassmann Pinot Gris, Alsace, France 2017

Description

A rich and expressive Pinot Gris from one of Alsace’s most revered family estates. The 2017 vintage opens with aromas of ripe pear, baked apple, quince, honey, and orange zest. The palate is broad and textured, revealing layers of apricot, yellow plum, spice, beeswax, and subtle smoky minerality.

Full bodied and beautifully balanced, this wine combines concentration with freshness, leading to a long and complex finish. It pairs wonderfully with foie gras, roast pork, creamy poultry dishes, mushroom based cuisine, and washed rind cheeses.

Rolly Gassmann is renowned for crafting age worthy wines with remarkable depth and character, and this Pinot Gris is a classic example of the estate’s distinctive style. Drinking beautifully today, it will continue to develop additional complexity with further cellaring.
