Domaine Kreydenweiss ‘Moenchberg’ Grand Cru 2018

€47.24

Thunderously ripe and structured Pinot Gris that’s built to last more than a decade after the vintage. The 2016 is at an exciting stage between young en developed, showing a complex range of fresh aromas (from lime to red apple to ripe stone fruit to exotic flowers to fresh herbs) while more honeyed and mushroomy notes creep up along the edges. On the palate, it starts off rich and almost creamy, before an icy blast of acidity and saline minerality sweeps in and moves the wine’s total aromatic content into a near-endless finish.

Description

Vinification

Biodynamically farmed Pinot Gris from the Moenchberg Grand Cru, a south-facing vineyard on a marl-sandstone slope first planted by Benedictine monks in 1097. Hand-harvest, slow pressing of whole bunches, natural fermentation in old Alsatian foudres without additives, aging on the lees for up to three years, bottled lightly filtered with a touch of sulfites. 2016 was the last vintage made without skin-maceration.

Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss

Antoine Kreydenweiss is the producer of many a staff favorite here at Chabrol-HQ, ever since he took over the Alsatian domain of his father Marc, a famous pioneer in biodynamic viticulture. From the sleepy village of Andlau Antoine operates this esteemed Domaine with terroir-diverse holdings in the surrounding hills, among which the three Grand Cru’s Kastelberg, Wiebelsberg, and Moenchberg. No fan of rich-but-electric, lip-smackingly salty white wines that wear terroir rather than variety on their sleave should miss these often very age-worthy wines.
