Domaine Rolly Gassmann Pinot Gris Reserve
Region: Alsace, France
Vintage: 2007
Bottle size: 75cl

A rich yet elegant Pinot Gris which perfectly balances sweetness and acidity. Brimming with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus peel, a marked minerality gives texture to the palate and lingers on the finish.
The Pinot Gris grapes for the 'Réserve Rolly Gassmann' wine are grown in the Pflaenzerreben de Rorschwihr lieu-dit, located at the foot of Hunawihr at an altitude of 200 - 230 metres above sea level. The vineyard sits on sandy clay loam soils with a proportion of oolitic limestone and silicified 'Muschelkalk' rich in ancient fossils lending a marked minerality to the wines.
While the winemaking history of the Rolly and Gassmann families in Alsace can be traced back to the 17th century, the Domaine was not established until 1967 when these two families were joined by marriage. Now run by second generation Pierre Gassmann, the domaine boasts 52 hectares in the Haut-Rhin region, 40 of which are in Rorschwihr and 10 in Bergheim. The family is known for their remarkable collection of vintages; they age and store up to five years’ worth of stock - around 1.5 million bottles - and only release wines that they feel are ready to drink.
