Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 2021

A faint reductive note lifts quickly to reveal orange peel, damp earth and russet pear. The palate is concentrated but fluid, with a saline, cool core that dominates the fruit rather than supporting it, the salt is the story here. Bone-dry, with a mouthwatering finish that pulls you back. Clos Jebsal sits between Brand and Heimbourg on calcareous marl and gypsum terraces, planted 1983, and it shows in that distinct mineral tension.
