94 poena - James Suckling

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht predstavlja jedno od kultnih imanja Alzasa i jednog od najvećih svjetskih proizvođača bijelih vina. Sa neprekinutom vinarskom tradicijom koja datira još od 1620. godine, imanje danas vodi Olivier Humbrecht MW, čiji su pionirski rad u biodinamici i fokus na izražavanje terroira pomogli da se redefinišu mogućnosti alzaških vina. Vina ovog imanja poznata su po intenzitetu, preciznosti i izuzetnom potencijalu za odležavanje, dok se Clos Jebsal smatra jednim od najposebnijih vinogradarskih položaja imanja za Pinot Gris.

Zlatno-žute boje, Clos Jebsal 2013 odmah otkriva bogatstvo i kompleksnost karakterističnu za ovaj izuzetni vinograd. Na nosu se otvaraju izražene arome meda, dunje, zrelog koštičavog voća, egzotičnog voća, dima i nježnih nota plemenite plijesni. Na nepcu je vino široko, slojevito i raskošno teksturalno, ali istovremeno nošeno živom kisjelinom i osvježavajućom mineralnom tenzijom koja definiše Clos Jebsal. Note kruške, kandiranih citrusa, začina i mokrog kamena zadržavaju se kroz izuzetno dug i elegantan završetak. Duboko gastronomsko i sposobno za veoma dugo odležavanje, ovo je veličanstven izraz alzaškog Pinot Grisa u njegovom najdubljem i najkompleksnijem obliku.

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the iconic estates of Alsace and among the world’s great white wine producers. With an unbroken winemaking lineage dating back to 1620, the estate is today led by Olivier Humbrecht MW, whose pioneering work in biodynamics and terroir-driven viticulture has helped redefine the possibilities of Alsatian wine. The domaine’s wines are celebrated for their intensity, precision and extraordinary capacity for aging, with Clos Jebsal regarded as one of the estate’s most distinctive vineyard sites for Pinot Gris.

Golden yellow in colour, the 2013 Clos Jebsal immediately reveals the richness and complexity characteristic of this extraordinary vineyard. The nose opens with expressive aromas of honey, quince, ripe stone fruit, exotic fruit, smoke and delicate noble rot. On the palate, the wine is broad, layered and beautifully unctuous, yet lifted by vibrant acidity and the cooling mineral tension that defines Clos Jebsal. Notes of pear, candied citrus, spice and wet stone linger through an exceptionally long and elegant finish. Deeply gastronomic and capable of long aging, this is a magnificent expression of Alsatian Pinot Gris at its most profound.
