2002 Tokay/Pinot Gris, Rolly-Gassmann
Tokay-Pinot Gris: a speciality of Alsace, spicy, honeyed, musky and exotic. Wonderful with honey roast pork. Pierre Gassman, champion of biodynamic cultivation in Alsace, insists on late harvesting and lengthy cellaring after bottling, creating amply sweet yet balanced styles. In-depth knowledge of his domaine (a complex mosaic of limestone and marls, created when two Alsace families united at the altar) and pursuit of low yields promote precise expression of different 'terroirs'.
