2015 Pinot Gris Grand Cru Kitterlé

Lemon yellow with light reflections of medium intensity. The wine shows youth. The nose is open, pleasant and intense. Discreetly, one perceives fine candied, fruit-dominant scents, quince jelly, mirabelle plum, honey, white flowers. Aeration intensifies these scents and brings out apricot, peach skin and fresh mushrooms. It will benefit from time. The attack on the palate is lush, voluminous, semi-sweet. The alcohol support is full-bodied. The nose is dominated by aromas of candied fruit, mirabelle plum, peach, apricot, quince, white flowers, honey, mushrooms. This is followed by a hint of spicy bitterness. The finish shows great length as well as an austere liveliness and a fine lingering bitterness. Dense and compact, the balance of this wine is juicy, characterized by relief. The initial richness is admirably tempered by the nervousness of the terroir and this fresh bitterness. Excellent palette of aromas in the making.

Recommendation: Serve slightly chilled at 12 degrees Celsius, goes very well with fish dishes, such as cod roasted on the skin with chorizo, young cucumber, cauliflower puree and saffron cream. Grilled seafood, roasted fine poultry or pork medallions with chanterelles also go very well with this wine. Enjoy this white wine until 2023.
