Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl, Alsace, France 2022 Domaine Champalou Les Becs Fins Rouge basesPinot gris has the reputation of being easygoing, but this dry pinot gris from Alsace has enormous energy and vitality. The staggering citrusy juiciness electrifies the super concentrated, medium bodied palate. At this stage in the wines very long life, the finish is a wild ride thanks to the chalky intensity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. James Suckling
