Grand Cru Pinot Gris at Its Sublime Peak

The 2015 Bott-Geyl Pinot Gris Grand Cru Furstentum is a masterclass in Alsatian elegance. Hailing from the sun-drenched slopes of Sigolsheim, this wine harmoniously balances richness, subtle sweetness, and intricate terroir expression.

Crafted to showcase the unique marno-calcairo-gréseux soils, this Pinot Gris delivers a textured, layered experience. Its careful maturation ensures complex aromas of dried fruits and honey, while its gentle sweetness provides a luxurious mouthfeel. Aged to perfection, this wine reveals both finesse and power.

Winemaking:

Grapes for the Furstentum Grand Cru are hand-harvested from steep, south-facing slopes. Jean-Christophe Bott-Geyl employs low-yield, selective harvesting and minimal intervention vinification, allowing the natural qualities of the terroir to shine. The wine undergoes gentle fermentation and extended ageing, enhancing aromatic complexity and balance.

Pairing Suggestions:

Perfect with pan-seared foie gras, tender ris de veau, couscous with dried fruits, or duck à l’orange for a harmonious sweet-savory balance.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of honeyed fruits and delicate floral notes lead to a rich, silky palate with hints of dried apricot, finishing with a lingering, elegant sweetness.
