Albert Boxler Pinot Gris Sélection de Grains Nobles "Heimbourg"

2018
In some years, Sélection de Grains Nobles bottlings are produced from specific parcels. All grapes are harvested by hand. No fining. After pressing, cold settling before fermentation begins. All fermentation is natural. Vinified in stainless steel.
97 points, “Bright pale golden yellow. Penetrating aromas of smoke, roasted banana, papaya, guava, crystallized ginger and pear nectar are complicated by spicy botrytis. Rich, dense and very lively, featuring flavors of tarte tatine, minerals, lemon pepper and vanilla. Remarkably vibrant and precise, this SGN is still very young and youthfully chewy. The grapes were harvested around mid-October and were practically all hit by noble rot.” - Vinous
