This wine comes from the Pinot Gris planted between 1990 and 1992 on the Clos Windsbuhl in Hunawihr. The old vines of the Clos are generally harvested a little later, but for the Roche Calcaire cuvée, we prefer not to let the grapes go too far in the ripeness. In 2023, the Hunawihr sector was a little later, but the stony limestone soils of the Windsbuhl allowed a nice evolution of maturity, especially phenolic, without a significant increase in sugar potential. It was important to be able to harvest early enough in 2023 because this grape variety subsequently evolved quickly in this sector. Fermentation was fast enough to result in a dry balance that suits this wine well in this vintage.
