FEATURES
🏰 The 2020 Schoffit Alsace Grand Cru Tokay Pinot Gris Rangen Clos Saint Theobald is a powerful and deeply expressive white wine that magnificently showcases the extraordinary volcanic terroir of the famed Rangen vineyard. Sourced from the historic Clos St Théobald parcel, this certified organic wine combines the richness and texture typical of great Pinot Gris with remarkable mineral precision, freshness, and structure. The steep volcanic slopes of Rangen are renowned for producing wines of exceptional concentration and complexity, and the 2020 vintage is a superb example of this unique terroir. The nose is intensely aromatic and layered, revealing ripe pear, yellow peach, apricot, and baked apple, alongside honeyed notes, subtle spice, and smoky mineral complexity. Distinctive flinty and volcanic nuances emerge with aeration. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated with a luxurious texture, beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity and a powerful mineral structure. Layers of ripe stone fruit, baked pear, honey, and citrus peel unfold, supported by smoky volcanic minerality and fine phenolic grip. Despite carrying a modest level of residual sugar (25-26 g/L), the wine finishes remarkably dry and precise due to its freshness, acidity, and mineral tension. The finish is long, complex, and persistent, leaving lingering notes of orchard fruit, spice, and crushed volcanic rock.
🍴 This exceptional Grand Cru Pinot Gris is a versatile partner for rich and flavourful dishes. It pairs perfectly with foie gras, roast pork, duck, lobster, scallops, and other rich seafood. It also complements Asian-inspired cuisine and mature washed-rind cheeses.
🥂 This deeply expressive Grand Cru Pinot Gris is ideal for special occasions, fine dining, or for collectors seeking a white wine with significant aging potential. It can be enjoyed now with decanting, or confidently cellared for 15–25 years to allow further development of its complex character.
