The nose is generous and layered, often opening with ripe orchard fruit, stone fruit, honeyed notes, and subtle spice, backed by a mineral undertone that reflects its Grand Cru origin.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is usually broad and textured, with a full-bodied mouthfeel, concentrated fruit, and a fine line of freshness that keeps it lifted and precise. The Altenberg de Bergheim terroir often gives Pinot Gris both richness and structure, allowing it to develop beautifully over time. The 2016 vintage should still offer excellent aging potential, with the ability to gain further nuance and savory complexity in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Altenberg de Bergheim Grand Cru is known for its marl and limestone-rich soils, which contribute both power and tension to the wine. The vineyard’s warm, sheltered exposure helps Pinot Gris achieve full phenolic ripeness, while careful harvesting preserves freshness and aromatic detail. Vinification is typically carried out with a focus on expressing the character of the site, allowing the wine to retain its depth, texture, and mineral precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with rich poultry dishes, roast pork, veal, creamy sauces, foie gras, and mushroom-based recipes.
