Description of the wine Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 1997 - Sélection de Grains Nobles
Originating from a selection of botrytised grape from the Clos Jebsal, this SGN kept strong fruity flavours that balances the powerful body. To avoid over ripeness, we left some healthy grapes in the selection. The wine is slightly more powerful than usual, with a perfectly well balanced sweetness and strong mineral character. Extremely unctuous finish and long lasting wine.
The Clos Jebsal of Turckheim
The wines from Clos Jebsal are discreet in their youth, often marked with flinty or smoky aromas. The expression of fruit linked to the concentration by botrytis is coaxed out with some time in bottle
