Welcome to the wild side of pinot gris, but don’t imagine for a second that this is a lush wine. In spite of all the power, this is super-cool and tense. If you have the patience, then let yourself sink into this incredibly dense and compact dry wine. Massive dark minerality in the extremely long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

From 39-year-old vines on deep and rich marl soils containing a higher clay percentage with excellent water reserves, the 2022 Clos Jebsal Turckheim Pinot Gris is deep, clear and darker-toned in its intense, ripe and quite open yet elegant fruit aromas that initially intertwined with oatmeal and later most of all saline notes. On the palate, this is an intense and elegant, dry and gastronomic Jebsal Pinot with remarkably fine yet palatable tannins. The 2022 is complex and well balanced yet still very young, with aromas of ripe and preserved (Williams) pear and dark chocolate shavings. 13.4% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in November 2024.(SR)

The savory tang of salt and yeastiness infuses dried apricot, guava and apple flavors in this weighty, expressive version. Its impressive depth and power simmer beneath, making this one for the cellar. The long finish is dusted with ground ginger and dried thyme. Chiseled and serious, this is still tightly coiled and needs time. Drink now through 2032.

Notes

94pts Ian d'Agata Wine Review: "Bright straw yellow. Aromas and flavours of apricot and Mirabelle, jasmine and peony, sweet spices then penetrating lemony cut and clarity. Still youthfully closed but lots of promise here. Lovely. Very high acidity (5.6 g/L, which is high for a Pinot Gris) not unlike the Riesling’s Sommerberg acid cut. Drinking window: 2027-2038."(11/2024)
