A richly textured and organically farmed Pinot Gris from the Rouffach–Ribeauvillé area of Alsace, crafted by the third generation of the Fuchs family. The domaine practices organic viticulture, intentionally limiting yields to heighten flavor intensity and promote natural terroir expression.
- WINEMAKERS: Henry and Catherine Fuchs, third generation of their family estate
- FARMING: Organicuse
- VARIETY: 100% Pinot Gris (Tokay d’Alsace’s modern nomenclature)
- TERROIR: Vines located in Ribeauvillé (and nearby Hunawihr and Bergheim), planted in marl-limestone soils typical of the commune. The estate spans roughly 10 hectares.
- VINIFICATION & AGEING: While detailed cellar notes for this vintage are limited, the house practices gravity flow, avoids excessive sulfur, and draws upon traditional techniques that preserve freshness and purity.
- TASTING NOTES: Displays a honeyed richness with substantial mouthfeel balanced by freshness. Smoky undergrowth undertones, a touch of residual sweetness, and minerally structure define this Alsace Pinot Gris.
- SCORES: Earned a 90-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, which remarked on its concentrated fruit, “zesty” notes, bold structure, and lasting finish.
