1998 Tokay Pinot Gris & 2002 Gewurztraminer — 9 years ago
Some say it's like trousseau. I say it's more like poulsard without the edges. Whatever - that's splitting the hairs of a wine geek. It's juicy and bright with a round rolly texture. A bit of spritz from dissolved CO2 so swirl hard for maximum deliciousness. — 10 years ago

Having the absolute joy of this bad boy tonight. Not seen or had Rolly Gassmann since I worked in a Michelin Cellar where for me, they were one of the best white wine producers we stocked! — 8 years ago
If there were ever a moment for personification of a grape, it is when describing the Savoie / Bugey beauty Altesse. She is the fresh air that graces the valley, gazing upon the alps. She is graceful and innocent. She wears cranberry silk slips and strappy kitten heels and a flatteringly floral fragrance formulated just for her in a fancy Parisian parfumerie. Imagine Maria, from the Sound of Music, post-nunnery, on a trip to post-war Paris.
Or forget all that and just trust me - this is lovely, lovely wine.
Rolly poly but light on its feet. Silky with crunchy minerality and bright, fresh yellow apple notes with a textured, lasting finish. It's one of our favorite things. (OK, OK, enough with the Sound of Music references.) — 9 years ago

A Pinot Gris with a beautiful balanced acidity. Perfect with Foi Gras... — 8 years ago
Great complexity of very ripe lychee, caramelised pineapple, confit ginger and orange with a subtle nite of rose petal. A touch of evolution and honey, luscious palate with superb vivacity. — 8 years ago
1997 год, а еще живет, сразу пахнуло новым автомобильным колесом :) , затем белые цветы, белый персик, нектарин, вкус зависел от температуры, с её повышением, кислотность увеличивалась, вино становилось плотнее, маслянистее, но и проявилась легкая горчинка. Вино полусладкое, а ощущения как полусухое. Общее впечатление, пик пройден, пошло на спад. — 9 years ago

Very sweet, but not syrupy. Balanced. Very tasty. Nice with cajun shrimp and creamed corn. — 7 years ago
