Pinot Gris, Rangen Thann Clos St Urbain, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2015
/ #65763130
The Rangen vineyard in Thann is built on steep, volcanic slopes and is considered one of Alsace’s most characterful Grand Cru vineyards. Clos St Urbain forms the most prestigious part of the plot, where Zind-Humbrecht has earned a reputation for growing Pinot Gris with great intensity and minerality. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht works with organic and biodynamic principles, which help to express the unique terroir of the vineyard.
The 2015 vintage in Alsace featured a warm and generally dry growing season, resulting in concentrated, powerful wines with ripe fruit and balanced acidity. Pinot Gris from this year can express both depth and complexity, often with a slight residual sweetness and beautiful structure. The classification as Grand Cru sets the framework for an aging potential, where the wine develops even greater depth and aromatic complexity over time.
The wine has received strong reviews from international critics; Jancis Robinson has highlighted its mineral character and density, while Wine Advocate has noted its aging potential and balance.
