Sweet chamomile is interwoven with botrytis in the aromatics of the 2000 Pinot Gris Sonnenglanz Vendanges Tardives. Medium-bodied, complex, and powerful, this raisin, poached pear, and apricot-flavored wine is exceptionally harmonious. Drink it between 2005 and 2020.
The youthful Jean-Christophe Bott, this winery's winemaker and director, believes 2000 "is not an exceptional vintage, yet is outstanding. The last extraordinary year we had was 1990. That being said, the 2000s all have beautiful richness of fruit and some have excellent acidity."
