The 2017 Pinot Gris Réserve offers direct, intense and elegant aromas of ripe and orchard fruits along with discreet but telltale smoky aromas and crushed stones. In the mouth it is fresh, vibrant and, as always, shows good clarity and definition. It is an elegant wine with a full body, intense and ripe fruit and it is lifted by the perfect amount of refreshing acidity, as well as a lingering grip and salinity. It has 7 grams of residual sugar so not totally dry but dry tasting - in Germany their top level dry wines are labelled Großes Gewächs and those can bottled with up to 9 grams residual sugar.
