This Pinot Gris is smoky and subtle, with a smooth weight and gliding length. Rangen de Thann is the most southerly of the Alsace Grands Crus, noted since the Middle Ages for its superb wines. Clos St Urbain is a small site within it, producing brilliant wines. Its volcanic soils and steep slope mean the vines are naturally low yielding, which makes for concentrated and driven Pinot Gris. This magnificent slope rises up behind the village of Niedermorschwihr. It’s extremely steep, and produces wines of superb power and scintillating tension from its sedimentary volcanic soils. Zind Humbrecht only released this wine for the first time in 2019. The parcel was bought in 2010 and replanted after a few fallow years, in 2013. High density planting (9000 vines/hectare) and the steepness of the slope here have pushed the young vines to produce something really quite extraordinary. Indeed, Olivier admits, he hadn’t been planning on releasing a wine from this site so soon, but was so astonished with the quality and character of the wines from 2019 onwards that he felt compelled to do so. 0.5g/l residual sugar (dry)
