Terroir of Pinot Gris Grand Cru Mambourg

AOC Alsace Grand Cru Mambourg dominates the Sigolsheim hillside and covers 61.85 ha, facing due south and benefiting from optimum sunshine. Its marly-limestone soil produces highly distinctive, long-keeping wines.

Vinification of Pinot Gris Grand Cru Mambourg

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. The grapes are gently pressed and the juice is naturally clarified at low temperature. Fermentation is slow, and ageing on fine lees for a minimum of 9 months gives the wine the rich, intense and complex expression of the world's finest white wines.

Tasting notes of Pinot Gris Grand Cru Mambourg

This Pinot Gris has a deep yellow color. The nose, still discreet, develops great aromatic complexity, combining smoky, undergrowth notes with hints of dried fruit, apricot and honey. On the palate, it is full-bodied and admirably round, with a mellow opulence. Thanks to its balance between substance and freshness, it sublimates sweet/savory pairings. It will be superb with foie gras, fresh, pan-fried or semi-cooked. It's also a great match for Risotto with porcini mushrooms.
