Domaine Camille Braun - Pinot Gris - Lippelsberg 2023
Pinot Gris Lippelsberg 2023 from Domaine Camille Braun intensely and precisely expresses the character of a great Alsatian terroir, where the grape variety's ripeness is balanced by a controlled mineral freshness. The deep yellow color with golden reflections announces a concentrated and expressive wine. The nose opens with aromas of ripe pear, mirabelle plum, and yellow fruits, complemented by notes of dried flowers and a slightly smoky touch typical of Pinot Gris grown on hillside soils. Upon aeration, nuances of fine honey, almond, and warm stone emerge, adding depth and complexity. The whole is rich but perfectly controlled, without heaviness, with a broad and clear aromatic profile. From the first sniff, the wine asserts a true personality of its named vineyard.
On the palate, the attack is broad and enveloping, supported by dense and silky texture. The texture reveals beautiful depth, sustained by a discreet but structuring acidity that prevents any sensation of softness. Flavors of ripe fruits continue with gentle spicy notes, a saline touch, and a persistent minerality that stretches the palate. Precise vinification and measured aging respect the identity of the grape variety and terroir, allowing the wine to evolve naturally and elegantly. The balance between richness, tension, and length is remarkable, giving a mouthfeel that is both generous and precise. The finish is long, warm, and elegant, marked by fruit, stone, and a fine noble bitterness.
Pinot Gris Lippelsberg 2023 is a gastronomic wine, crafted to accompany flavorful and structured dishes. It pairs ideally with roasted poultry, lightly spiced Asian cuisine, noble fish in sauce, or rich vegetarian dishes based on roasted vegetables and mild spices. Its depth also allows it to accompany aged pressed cheeses. Served around 11 to 12 °C, it reveals all its complexity and relief. Already very expressive in its youth, it can evolve harmoniously over several years, gaining honeyed and mineral notes. It is a terroir Pinot Gris, serious and elegant, which accurately illustrates the know-how and commitment of Domaine Camille Braun.
