Josmeyer Le Fromenteau 2005 Monday, Nov 20 2006
Tasting Notes and France and Alsace and Variety and White and other whites
A friend makes Pinot Gris and placed this in a bracket of three for us to try. It is my feeling that Pinot Gris styles are all over the paddock, regardless of where they are from. Josmeyer seems to be of the style that starts off restrained and needs time to evolve. This wine was no exception. It opened with a restrained nose that suggested soft fragrances of straw, violets and even a bit of licorice. The palate built up over about 40 minmutes but was always restrained and clean with a little kick of sugar at the end to fill it up. I think this was a bit of vinocide and suggest that if you buy any, it is left in the cellar for 2 to 3 years at least. It is very different to anything that I have tried from Australia.
