2020 Lucien Albrecht Pinot Gris "Cuvée Romanus" Alsace, France
ABOUT THE WINE
This Pinot Gris exemplifies the depth and complexity of Alsace’s terroir. Sourced from select vineyard sites with limestone and clay soils, the wine benefits from optimal ripening conditions that enhance its aromatic intensity and natural richness. The Cuvée Romanus undergoes gentle pressing and slow fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks, preserving freshness while developing texture. A short period of aging on fine lees contributes to its creamy mouthfeel and nuanced depth. With its subtle off-dry character and vibrant acidity, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy cheeses, or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
