60 yo vines, mauve granite soils, steep south facing slope and 33 grams RS makes for a potent brew! Brand is a prodigious Grand Cru vineyard whose heat and humidity triggers noble rot easily, as per in 2010 when this wine effectively became a Vendange Tardive. Medium sweet, this is immaculately turned out with bristling acidity to balance out the sugar and noble rot, but it tastes drier than you expect looking at the figures; the sign of a great vineyard. Drinking till 2035 at least. (David Berry Green, Berrys' Alsace Buyer)
