Pinot Gris SGN Clos Jebsal
Bottling: 8/2013; Alcohol: 12°; Residual sugars: 189 g/l; 5.0 g/l H2SO4, pH: 3.7; Yield: 22 hl/ha; Optimum tasting: 2016-41+; Vineyard planted in 1983; Terroir: Marls (Trias) and Gypsum. South-facing, terraced and steeply sloping.
This wine is the only Sélection de Grains Nobles produced on the estate in 2011, which is considered a record year for VT and SGN production in Alsace. The climate was certainly favourable (heat, sun and humidity), but we preferred to limit the production of this type of wine to only those terroirs capable of maintaining an interesting structure. The rich and deep marls of Jebsal allow us to keep a nice freshness in the soil and therefore also a nice structure. This wine is from the third sorting (the first was downgraded to classic Pinot-Gris) and has a classic richness of 167° Oechslés, or about (23.5° potential). With less acidity, the fermentation was a bit faster to reach a slightly higher alcohol (for a SGN).
2/2013: the nose is classically marked by noble rot (acacia honey, wax...) but also has a nice fruitiness (peach nectar, apricot, dried fruits...). The mouth is marked by a great liquor and an almost suave texture, making it very accessible. On the finish, it is possible to find acidity and a nice bitterness reminiscent of citrus peel. Great ageing potential.
