Description

The benchmark Pinot Gris from Olivier Humbrecht's great Clos in grand cru Rangen, from the remarkable and unusual 2006 vintage.

Olivier's comments on the wine:

Pinot-Gris Rangen de Thann Clos-Saint-Urbain 2006
Bottling date: 7/2007; Alcohol: 15.5° alc; Residual sweetness: 11 g/l; Yields: 21.6 hl/ha; Optimum drinking period: 2011-2021+; Average age of the vines: 37 years; Surface: 2.3 ha; Terroir: Sedimentary volcanic rocks. South facing, very steep slope. Sweetness indice 1 [dry]

“In 2006, the botrytis was intense, but like in many other Pinot Gris vineyards, we feared that its influence could be too powerful. We went to harvest the Pinot Gris just before it would be real VT, aiming for a dry wine. The fermentation was fast and powerful, leaving little chance for much residual sweetness in the wine.

“1/2008: Not a VT? It is impossible to think differently with this dark gold colour, almost orange and this powerful intense waxy, shoe polish, flinty nose. Most people would swear that this is a very sweet wine, SGN like, but not. The palate is as austere and tight as it can be. It’s like chewing volcanic rocks. Right from their youth, all the Rangen wines had this dark colour. This is not oxidation, it is just the way the terroir decided to express the vintage. The finish feels very dry and powerful, also showing a racy acidity. Extreme vineyard, extreme wine…”
