Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle Trimbach (Domaine) 1985

The wine

Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle is a sumptuous cuvée, revealing fleshy fruit (mango) notes on the nose which are reflected in the palate, with a creamy mouthfeel. This wine pairs ideally with decadent foods such as foie gras or sweetbreads.

About the Producer Trimbach

Descendants of a long line of wine enthusiasts, Hubert and Bernard Trimbach manage the property with their sons Pierre and Jean. Firmly rooted in Alsace since 1626, the Trimbach name rapidly gained a regional and then international reputation, largely thanks to Frédéric-Emile Trimbach at the end of the 19th century. The property is located on some magnificent terroirs, some benefitting from grand cru status, but appellation approval has never really interested the Trimbach family, who prefer to produce distinguished blends that they market under their own brand names. Their vinification methods have resisted the siren call of modern technology; the owners monitor every stage, with a strict respect for tradition, in order to ensure that the famous "Trimbach style" is preserved, which serves as an international benchmark for Alsace wines.
