Jean Baptiste Adam Pinot Gris Reserve
£21.95
On the nose, beautiful and discreet notes of yellow fruits that are confirmed by a full and silky mouth. Round, strong, and powerful, expressing fruit flavours of peach, apricot, and cherry, with flower aromas such as violet acacia (when young). When cellared, it will develop apricot and honey flavours. Flavors of nuts, smoke, and fresh butter are also characteristic of Pinot Gris.
Ideal with smoked fish and charcuterie, scrambled eggs with ham & hollandaise sauce, chicken in a cream & mushroom sauce.
Jean-Baptiste Adam is one of the oldest estates in Alsace, with 19 ha of organic vineyard in the Haut Rhin village of Ammerschwir. The granite slopes of Grand Cru ‘Kaefferkopf’ provide the backdrop to the village and produce the estate’s unforgettable wines. 400 years on, J-B Adam remains guided by the 14th generation of Adams, Jean-Baptiste and his daughters Laure, Pauline and Marie. Their progressive stewardship has seen the introduction of biodynamic principals and a ‘non-interventionist’ regime in the cellar (a natural process of slow pressing, wild fermentations and no filtration) that ensures wonderfully expressive, clean and complex wines.
