Rangen

Showing a harmonious combination of smoke and flint flavours with hints of white fruit on the nose, the 2007 Pinot Gris Rangen is delectably balanced. This intricate wine inundates the palate with flavours of peaches, honey and poached pears. Sweetness shines through on the palate, but thanks to its vibrant acidity, it blends in very quickly. Pinot Gris Rangen should evolve and drink well for 15 years.

From the Clos St.Urbain vineyard's near vertical slope and volcanic soils comes this explosive Riesling from 48 yo vines and sporting a dry 9.5 gram RS. Brooding gunpowder on the nose, lowish alcohol, this wine captures the essence of the site, giving fantastic persistence and texture. Drinking till 2035.
