Half of the 2022 Pinot Gris Classic is from estate fruit, half from bought-in grapes from Wintzenheim, Pfaffenheim and Riquewihr - which means limestone and clay soils. The nose is open with sun-warmed, russet pear peel alongside a subtle smokiness. The palate is textured, round, smooth and balanced. It's a mouthful of wine with a lovely edge of apple pip bitterness. This may be entry-level, but there is nothing facile about this with its beautiful textural element. (Dry)(AK)
