2007 Domaine Zind Humbrecht "Clos Jebsal" Pinot Gris SGN (375ml)

Bid on this 4-half-bottle lot of 2007 Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Clos Jebsal Pinot Gris Sélection de Grains Nobles (375ml), a rare, luscious dessert wine from Olivier Humbrecht MW, Alsace’s first Master of Wine and one of the world’s great biodynamic winemakers. Clos Jebsal is the domaine’s walled monopole near Turckheim, whose cool, gypsum-rich marl soils produce some of Alsace’s most profound sweet wines. Sélection de Grains Nobles is the region’s highest designation for late-harvest wine, made only in exceptional years from hand-selected, botrytis-affected berries. Expect honey, dried apricot, candied peach, quince and orange marmalade layered with smoke, saffron, ginger and a mineral edge, with an unctuous, concentrated palate balanced by bright acidity and an exceptionally long finish. A collectible, age-worthy rarity, superb with foie gras, blue cheese or fruit tarts.
