Remy Gresser, 'Brandhof' Pinot Gris 2018, Alsace

A rich Pinot Gris with aromas of undergrowth, dried fruit and honey. The palate has great richness balanced by a beautiful minerality and a long lasting finish.

The Gresser family has been in Andlau, a village halfway between Strasbourg and Colmar, since the 14th century. Their winemaking tradition dates back to 1520 when Thiébaut Gresser began farming the vines on slopes at the foot of the Mont Sainte Odile, a terroir rich in schist which is perhaps the most complex and varied geology of all 119 wine villages of Alsace. The ten-hectare estate is now run by Rémy Gresser, whose philosophy is focused on a love of the land. Using organic and biodynamic methods, Rémy creates wines whose style combines elegance and aromatic richness. Each wine has its own unique personality reflecting Rémy’s respect of the terroir’s history, culture and environment.
