Description

Domaine Bechtold Alsace Pinot Gris 'Nef des Folles' 2024Nef des Folles translates to the nave of the mada nave being the central area of a church which houses the congregation. Jean Marie may well consider himself slightly mad, in his gently self deprecating way, for such unorthodox experimentation, but this wine makes a wholly compelling plea for his sanity. Comprising Pinot Gris from the Obere Hund vineyard macerated for twelve days on its skins and aged in a single old foudre, this Pinot Gris is vivid

raffish nature

The blend is three-quarters Syrah and one-quarter Carignan

As with their Cornas

It is both palate-coating and gentle

25% Barbera and 10% Uva Rara

it nonetheless displays spice-laden red fruits that are very Pernand

or it can shine on its own as a thought-provoker

and for good reason—it encompasses a panoply of seemingly at-odds characteristics with ease

and that hint of fresh floral aromatics that let you know you are in Volnay

2-hectare parcel of old vines at the very summit of the great La Chavaroche vineyard

and it stands as one of the greatest white wines from Provence we have encountered

Stephanie Fumoso entrusted her son Paul to create two new cuvées based on plantings in some of the domaine’s most prized sites
