Domaine Zind-Humbrecht - Pinot Gris Roche Roulee 2021 750 ML

This wine comes from the alluvial and gravelly soils next to the winery. They are extremely well drained and located in a warm and precocious climate. These vineyards do produce a very expressive and aromatic style of wine every vintage and due to their precocity, they are now the first to be picked on the Domaine in every vintage. It is probably the vineyard where we have to watch the evolution of the ripeness the most in order to avoid excessive richness. Once the harvest has started, it is easier to assess the potential ripeness, but for the first grapes, there is always an element of uncertainty! In 2021, the grapes affected by mildew dry out and were of no consequences on the quality, but unfortunately the crop size was small!
