The 2020 Alsace Grand Cru Brand Pinot Gris, with its comfortable maturity and spicy notes, perfectly captures the sunny character of the vintage. It's advisable to decant it before serving to fully unleash its aromas. This wine offers a rich and broad palate that is smartly balanced by its natural acidity, making it a gastronomic delight. It pairs wonderfully with fish dishes or a traditional blanquette de veau, presenting an inventive and ideal interpretation of this powerful granite terroir. Rated 94/100 by RVF and 93/100 by the Committee. |
