2016 Pinot Gris Grand Cru Rangen de Thann, Clos St Urbain, Zind-Humbrecht

2016 Pinot Gris Grand Cru Rangen de Thann, Clos St Urbain, Zind-Humbrecht

From possibly Olivier's most celebrated plot, this is as good as Pinot Gris gets. There's a richness here you'll rarely find, with notes of manuka honey and fresh flowers. Long and racy, with such taut acidity on the finish, it's Pinot Gris of a different level.

Tasting notes

The most powerful and deepest pinot gris of this vintage from Zind Humbrecht with a ton of smoke, creme-brulee and mushroom character. In spite of the almost 15% alcoholic content, it is properly dry and has a wonderful liveliness at the finish. Drink or hold. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.
