Tasting notes

If you are ever worried that Alsace pinot gris might be too extravagant for you, here is an incredibly pure and wonderfully balanced example. Super-ripe apricot yet so bright and clean, then you are pulled into the simultaneous rich and tense palate of this amazing pinot gris. Very dry and extremely straight finish.

About this wine

Domaine Weinbach's Pinot Gris Les Caracoles is a benchmark expression of Alsace Grand Cru white wine, produced by one of the region's most respected family estates. Located in Kaysersberg, Domaine Weinbach has cultivated its vineyard heritage since 1612, combining traditional Alsatian winemaking with meticulous attention to terroir. This Pinot Gris showcases the mineral-driven character and balanced structure that define the finest Grand Cru wines from the region.

Les Caracoles offers a medium-bodied profile with bright acidity and elegant stone fruit characteristics. The 13.5% alcohol provides balance without heaviness, making this wine exceptionally versatile at the table. Its balanced nature and crisp minerality pair beautifully with shellfish, grilled lobster, and sushi, while the wine's complexity supports richer dishes including blue cheese, goat cheese, and chicken preparations. It also complements Asian cuisine and grilled vegetables, making it an ideal choice for refined entertaining in any setting.
