2023 Gustave Lorentz Reserve Pinot Gris, Alsace

Gustave Lorentz Reserve Pinot Gris from Alsace is a rich, expressive white wine that beautifully showcases the variety’s complexity and the unique terroir of the region. Crafted by the Lorentz family, winemakers in Bergheim since 1836, this wine reflects their dedication to producing elegant, food-friendly wines with vibrant character.

In the glass, it shines pale gold with a subtle copper hue. The nose is generous and inviting, offering aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and quince, layered with hints of honeysuckle, toasted almond, and a touch of sweet spice. There’s a delicate smoky note, adding complexity without overwhelming the bright fruit profile.

On the palate, the Gustave Lorentz Reserve Pinot Gris is beautifully textured, balancing richness with refreshing acidity. Flavors of baked apple, apricot, and citrus zest are framed by a fine mineral backbone. The mouthfeel is silky and rounded, while the finish is long and clean, leaving traces of honey, spice, and subtle nuttiness.

This Pinot Gris is incredibly versatile with food. It pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, creamy pasta, or grilled seafood. It also complements Asian-inspired dishes, hard cheeses, and earthy vegetable plates. While drinking beautifully now, it has the structure to age gracefully for 5–7 years, developing further complexity while retaining its vibrant core.

Gustave Lorentz Reserve Pinot Gris is a perfect expression of Alsace—aromatic, flavorful, and crafted for both enjoyment and versatility at the table.
