Lucien Albrecht Pinot Gris Cuvee Romanus'04, Alsace, France



Technical Data:100% Pinot Gris. This Special Cuvee is hand-crafted from exclusively domaine-grown fruit. Named after Romanus Albrecht, the first wingrower of the Albrecht wine family in 1425. This finely crafted wine is made from old-vine vineyards from a careful selection at the time of the harvest. Unoaked.

Description:Bright pale golden color. This Pinot Gris is a rich, powerful wine with aromas of grapefruit, peach and some lovely mineral notes. On the palate the wine is rich yet dry focused on mineral flavors, citrus fruits and spice. Creamy and velvety wine with a soft finish showing up elegance and balance for such a rich white wine.

Food Pairing & Service:Will be a very good pairing with all Thai and Asian dishes in general. Also great with seafood and fish. Serve chilled.

Score:7/10

Suggested Retail Price:$19.00 in DC
