"The significant proportion of healthy berries in the harvest mix of Schoffitâs 2002 Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Theobald Selection de Grains Nobles permits it to convey more of the smokiness of the site than the pungency of botrytis, as well as to preserve a remarkable freshness. White raisin, yellow plum preserve, wood smoke, brown spices and honey in the nose lead to a palate at once unctuous and juicy, and a finish combining extraordinary richness and length with lift and refreshment. Bernard Schoffitâs 2004s are all to some degree marked by the vintage rains, but his Rangen de Thann vineyards were drenched for eight days in a row at the end of October, necessitating virtually wholesale de-classification of what little was picked. In his Harth vineyards just outside Colmar, it was the 2005 vintage that resulted in below normal yields, thanks to desiccation and botrytis."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, Alsace produces aromatic, mostly dry varietal whites - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris - of exceptional purity and ageability.
