Gran Cru Rosacker Alsace Pinot Gris 2019

Maison Pettermann, Rosacker Alsace Grand Cru Pinot Gris 2019

This is an off dry wine but wow, this is great and this is probably the best pinot gris I have ever tried. We paired it with egg fried rice with a healthy dose of chilli oil in it (quite hot even for my standards), fish sauce and sesame oil, and it held its ground very nicely. What a pairing! I served it a cellar temperature so about 14 degrees Celsius.
The nose shows really nice notes of ripe pear, white flowers and maybe rose petals (?) and a tiny touch of zest. The palate is absolutely lovely with a great acid drive and a nice width, a very soft and lovely, cushiony mouthfeel, a bright pear note all along that continues in the end along with those tiny zesty touches that come back. This is a great expression, especially along an homemade egg fried rice plate ✌🏻
