Bestheim Pinot Gris Rayon de Lune

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Bestheim Pinot Gris Rayon de Lune is an expressive opus, intertwining a bouquet of yellow fruits and earthy whispers with smoky undertones. It carries one through a forest dappled with apricot sunbeams, where the freshness of citrus dances among hazelnut boughs. The palate is regaled with a mosaic of flavors, where sweet serenades of ripe pear fuse with the richness of nutty undertones and the plush tapestry of the wine’s texture envelopes the senses. An undisputed testimony to Alsace’s winemaking prowess, the wine concludes with a long and complex finish, tenderly leaving a lingering sonnet of its journey.
