A properly dry pinot gris that is a model of balance and harmony, the creaminess balanced by discreet freshness on the medium-bodied palate. I love the fresh melon and orange blossom aromas. Just a hint of tannin in the finish adds a bit of tension. Drink now.
Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Gris Classic allows glimpses of Comice pear on its nose with its still funky yeastiness. Likewise, the palate channels juicy, ripe pear but with a balancing and surprising coolness, skipping along with juiciness and fruity freshness
Wine Spectator
Fragrant and pure, with rounded edges to the notes of Asian pear and fresh blossoms. Slate and cool minerality grounds everything on the smoky, salty finish, which shows vibrant purity. Drink now through 2030.
Description
Youthful notes of fresh melon, orange blossom, Asian pear, and yellow fruit, which develop into deeper hints of apricot, light spice, and toasted nuts with bottle age. Rounded and mouth-watering, balancing a creamy texture with vibrant freshness, a touch of fine tannin on the finish, and a clean, mineral-touched length.
Ideal with terrines, white meats, and fish in rich sauces.
