Review Date: 04/2024The 2020 Pinot Gris Eichberg Grand Cru is gown on a particularly limestone-dominated parcel called Niedereich of the Eichberg Grand Cru. A touch of white truffle and ripe, baked pear are hinted at on the shy nose. The palate also brings this baked pear notion, rich and mellow, combining it with immense chalky depth. The 8 g/L of residual sweetness makes the creamy palate mellow but not sweet, as the 5 g/L of acidity counters it. The finish is marked by melted butter. This is rich but contoured. (Off-Dry)(AK)

This powerful, barely off-dry pinot gris has terrific aromas of ripe melons, golden raisins and candied oranges. Rich and succulent on the medium- to full-bodied palate, this is also lively and animated. Just a hint of caramelized pears in the dry finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

This wine is so fresh and lively on both the nose and the palate. Notes of candied citrus, orange and kumquat nicely play against the racy acidity and ample mineral notes. Complex, layered and full-bodied this is a stunningly good Pinot Gris.

Digging a little deeper brings out a juicy smelling pear, a little bit of lemon, and a touch of something I can't quite put my finger on but it feels terroir-related. The palate has a big pop of fruit, but then it fades just a touch and turns savory in the mid-palate before swinging right back around to the fruit on the finish. This is just delicious, and not really what I was expecting, but that's why it's sometimes a waste of time to have preconceptions. That goes for having them about people too. I want to have this with some kind of veal or pork dish, maybe some kind of sausages with a light sauce and some kind of layered potato dish on the side.
