ZIND HUMBRECHT PGRIS RANGEN DE THANN CLOS ST URBAIN GC 2024 - white

Style: Rocks & MineralsIf you were to ask any serious wine expert for his or her list of the top white wine estates in the world today, Alsace's Domaine Zind-Humbrecht would nearly always be among those included. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the world’s most famous white wine estates, producing a bevy of world-class bottlings that have very few peers in their respective categories. IAN D’AGATAThe 2024 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal is grown on marl with gypsum and is rather shy on the nose. The palate is superbly light for a Pinot Gris yet imbued with a sensuous creaminess that supports bright lemon flavors. The finish is a little short but superbly clean-cut and dry. (Bone-dry)ANNE KREBIEHL MWI admire Olivier Humbrecht's unceasing quest for quality immensely and he has succeeded in making many luscious, intense and attention-grabbing wines. JANCIS ROBINSON MWEverything produced here from his highly sought after Grand Crus to his entry level Pinot Blanc is top shelf and all are given the same attention and care and each demonstrates the hand of a master at work. ROSCOEThe 2024 Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru results from tiny yields of 12 hl/ha. It comes with the merest hint of reduction. The palate, however, expands into complete juiciness that features tart red apple, lemon, grapefruit and pale peach, all framed with a gorgeous, benign bitterness that makes the mouth water. This is beautifully pearl-like in its surface and shape, smooth, supple, luminous and unimpeded. Simply gorgeous. (Bone-dry) (97) ANNE KREBIEHL MWIntense yellow color. The nose reveals a volcanic wave of great intensity and incredible persistence. No, this is not reduction, but rather the complex aromatic characteristics of the great Rangen wine: smoky, flint, flintstone, sulfurous water, peat... The palate is full-bodied, velvety, intense and finishes with a racy structure where the acidity recalls the late character of the vintage. Production is tiny in 2024, but what a great wine!
