Description
The 2007 Clos St Théobald Pinot Gris Vendange Tardives Grand Cru “Rangen” from Domaine Schoffit is an exceptional wine hailing from one of Alsace’s most renowned terroirs. Sourced from the Grand Cru Rangen, this wine showcases the richness and concentration of the Pinot Gris grape, harvested late for maximum sweetness and complexity. Clos St Théobald is a unique parcel within the Grand Cru Rangen, a volcanic terroir that lends the wine a powerful mineral dimension and a singular character. This Pinot Gris Vendange Tardives is a rare gem, marked by its opulence, sweetness, and remarkable balance between freshness and smoothness.
Blend
100% Pinot Gris, a variety often vinified as late harvest in Alsace. Late harvest allows for sugar concentration, producing sweet to luscious wines that, thanks to the region’s cool climate, retain a balancing acidity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep golden with amber highlights, indicating the wine’s richness and aging potential.
Nose: An opulent bouquet of candied fruits (apricots, quince), honey, sweet spices, and white flowers. Smoky and mineral notes, characteristic of the volcanic Rangen terroir, enhance the complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied, rich, and generous. Flavors of candied fruits and honey blend with well-preserved acidity, offering balance and freshness. The volcanic minerality emerges on the finish, adding a unique layer of complexity. The length is exceptional, leaving a lingering and delightful sensation.
Aging Potential
The 2007 Clos St Théobald Pinot Gris Vendange Tardives has an outstanding aging potential of 15 to 30 years. Over time, its aromas will evolve into more complex notes of dried fruits, spices, and forest floor, while maintaining vivacity.
Food Pairings
This rich, sweet wine pairs perfectly with gourmet dishes such as foie gras, blue or vein-marbled cheeses (Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne), and fruit-based or confit desserts. It also complements exotic sweet-and-savory dishes.
