This expressive Pinot Gris hails from the Spiegel Grand Cru vineyard, a high-quality site in Alsace, France, known for producing structured, age-worthy white wines. The 2021 vintage comes from Domaines Schlumberger, one of Alsace’s most historic estates. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel to retain purity and freshness. The unique terroir of marl and sandstone gives this wine its signature richness and mineral precision.
Bouquet Opulent and aromatic, with notes of pear, baked apple, and yellow plum. Hints of honey, spice, and smoky flint add complexity, along with soft floral undertones.
Palate Full-bodied and generous, yet finely balanced. Layers of stone fruit, ginger spice, and a touch of marzipan unfold over a creamy texture. A subtle sweetness is lifted by clean acidity, finishing long and elegant with a touch of white pepper and crushed rock minerality.
Food Pairing Pair with roast chicken, pork belly, creamy pasta dishes, or mushroom risotto. Also excellent with soft cheeses, spiced vegetarian curries, or foie gras for something indulgent.
Cellaring Delicious now and will evolve beautifully through 2030. Store in a cool, dark space to develop further richness and depth with time.
Interesting Fact The Spiegel Grand Cru vineyard takes its name from the German word for “mirror,” referring to the way the slopes reflect the sunlight—giving the grapes optimum ripening and aromatic concentration.
