Domaine Albert Mann - Alsace Grand Cru - Pinot Gris Furstentum - White - 2022

Wine:

Fresh and floral, with refined mineral undertones, the 2022 Alsace Grand Cru Pinot Gris Furstentum White delivers one of the purest and most accomplished expressions of this grape on the sun-drenched, limestone-rich slopes of this exceptional terroir. Grace and richness come together in perfect harmony, unfolding a bold, intense, and saline structure that’s lifted and refreshed by a firm mineral backbone. The wine shows impressive breadth—almost a tannic presence—with a distinctive chalky texture that amplifies its depth and brings out elegant notes of peach and fresh almond. This is a gastronomic Pinot Gris of real stature. Rated 94/100 by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
