Marcel Meyer Grand Cru Ollwiller Pinot Gris 2022

Winewherever, Rasmus Christensen

Pinot Gris med restsukker er vel næsten en egnsret, der kun kan stamme fra Alsace. Og man kan næsten ikke andet end at elske dens særpræg, hvilket man dog skal være forberedt på. Her kommer en frugtbombe med honningmelon, sød abrikos og marcipan. Syren afbalancerer sødmen rigtig godt, og dens fenolske bid giver den et ekstra spild, som jeg virkelig holder af. Udvid din horisont med denne vin.

Vinonyme

En uimodståelig duet åbning med en mineralsk sky af stenstøv, og saftig, moden mango. Restsødmen smyger sig silkeblødt rundt om tungen og giver vinen en næsten slikket tekstur, mens den milde syre holder sødmen fra at stjæle showet. Fylden er cremet og dyb, alkoholen varmer længe, og det er her den henter point hjem, med flere lag af kompleksitet, der pirrer sanserne.

The Real Review

A touch of bronze in colour, fresh and bright. Complex aromas of baked pear, peach, bath salts and blossom. Powerful, rich and plush on the palate, plenty of stone fruit, honey, ripe pear and spice. There's sweetness evident, but the acidity works well to provide balance and cut.

Bob Campbell

Moderately sweet (RS 29g/l) pinot gris with poached pear, apricot, honeysuckle, and subtle honey and struck-flint flavours. A refreshing wine with a backbone of ripe, fruity acidity. Creamy-textured.

James Suckling

Ripe apples, candied peaches, hints of honeysuckle and caramel on the nose. It has a rich, off-dry palate with good fruit concentration and creamy texture. Flavorful and delicious.

Gilbert & Gaillard

Beautiful shiny dress with orange reflections. Nose of fruits in syrup, enhanced by a subtle smoky touch. On the palate, a soft texture, breadth, aromas evoking the nose, supported by a beautiful substance. A success.

Jancis Robinson

Nutmeg and hazelnuts in honey, cardamom-syrup-drenched pastry. There is a sine curve on this wine with clementine, blood oranges on the edge of fermentation, warm nutmeg spiciness and sinuous spread. Dill. So much here. This is beautiful.
