Description
The Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris Organic Grand Cru Altenberg is an exceptional white wine from the renowned Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim, one of the most prestigious vineyards in Alsace. This organic Pinot Gris combines richness, elegance, and impressive complexity. Thanks to the old vines, unique terroir, and careful vinification, this is a gastronomic wine with great aging potential and a beautiful development in the bottle.
White peach, vanilla, and refined spice
This Grand Cru has a deep golden-yellow color and an intense bouquet of white peach, sandalwood, vanilla, and delicate spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and concentrated, with a full body and a beautiful balance between fresh acidity and natural residual sugars. The long finish is characterized by notes of marzipan, ripe stone fruit, and a refined spice, with each sip revealing new aromas.
Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim – An exceptional terroir
The grapes come from the historic Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim, where Gustave Lorentz owns a large part of the vineyard. The old vines grow on a unique soil of clay and limestone, giving the wine its characteristic power, minerality, and elegance. Altenberg has been known as one of Alsace's finest terroirs since the thirteenth century, producing wines with exceptional finesse and impressive aging potential.
Perfect with gastronomic dishes
This Grand Cru Pinot Gris truly shines with foie gras, glazed duck, refined Asian dishes, and rich poultry dishes. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and dishes with a lightly sweet accent. Thanks to its rich structure and long finish, this is a wine that invites slow enjoyment.
Gustave Lorentz
Since 1836, Gustave Lorentz has been one of Alsace's most renowned wineries. The family business operates entirely organically and owns some of the most beautiful Grand Cru vineyards around Bergheim. Low yields, manual harvesting, and great respect for nature and terroir result in wines that are internationally known for their elegance, purity, and exceptional quality.
