Release Price: NA
Drink Date: 2029 - 2050
Predominantly based on Pinot Gris that is cultivated on the very rocky soils on the east flank of the site, the 2018 Grand Cru Mambourg offers a deep, pure and aromatic, pretty Burgundian bouquet of crushed stones, blood oranges, almond cakes and iodine. Full-bodied, fresh and quite intense on the palate, this is a powerful but pure and fresh Mambourg with fine tannins and structural, fruity bitters on the finish. Mathieu Deiss compares it with Hermitage Blanc, yet I wonder if the wine has the richness and generosity of perfect ripeness. It was raised in Burgundian pièces for one year. 14.46 % stated alcohol. Bone dry. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022.
