Domaine Josmeyer 2019 Pinot Gris Le Fromenteau

Formerly known as Fromenteau in Île de France, Pinot Gris has a more earthy personality, evoking fields of cereals, harvest time, and nourishing earth. The grapes are sourced from old vine plots on the Herrenweg of Turckheim and Wintzenheim, an area characterized by gravelly-sandy colluvium deposits, alluvium, and pebbles. Similar to the soil of Graves, this terroir produces aromatic, ripe, and elegant wines.

Since 2004, the vineyard has been cultivated organically and biodynamically, fostering a symbiosis between the sky, earth, plant, and man. This close relationship generates noble grapes that produce dense and balanced wines with unique personalities.

The grapes are harvested by hand and pneumatically pressed whole for 5 to 8 hours. Coming exclusively from organic and biodynamic farming, they naturally transfer their aromas to the must. Fermentation occurs spontaneously without added enzymes, selected yeasts, or chaptalization, lasting from one to four months. The wine is then aged in century-old oak tuns or stainless steel vats, depending on the case.
