2010 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl Grains Nobles, Zind-Humbrecht

"Verdensklassevin, der nærmest er udødelig" -Berlingske. En exceptionel SGN med utrolig botrytis og utrolig sødme, men med masser af syre nedenunder. Udbytte på blot 9 hl/ha gav en perfekt vin på et af Alsace's fineste vinbjerge.

Olivier om vinen: "The old vines of Clos Windsbuhl allowed an important noble rot development in 2010. The acidities were very high and the noble rot was of exceptional quality, so we decided to proceed to a selection during the harvest. The richest part produced this wine. The concentration of the grapes is astonishing, not in sugar content, but acidity and minerals. The light rocky calcareous soils of the Windsbuhl often produce rich wines that have an interesting acidity balance, but never like this wine. The fermentation was relatively fast for an SGN (6 months) but it will take much more time for this wine to be ready.9/2013: Well, actually we decided to wait until September 2013 to bottle this wine! It has such a racy acidity that the sweetness is almost disappearing on the palate. The nose shows outstanding complex ripe fruits and noble rot character.I'll say it many times, but this wine ageing potential is limitless."
