Most people don't expect an entry-level Alsace white to be opened more than two decades after the harvest, and that's exactly why this 2002 Pinot Gris is worth a look. It comes from Paul Blanck's "Les Classiques" line, the house's straightforward varietal range, not the Patergarten or Grand Cru Pinot Gris the domaine also bottled that year. The family behind it has been growing grapes in Alsace since 1610, when their Austrian ancestor Hans Blanck bought his first vines. From 1975, Paul's sons Bernard and Marcel played a decisive role in getting the Schlossberg named Alsace's first Grand Cru. These days the domaine grows its classic Pinot Gris on gravel and sand plus south-facing clay and limestone. The Blancks say they aim to make unique wines for pleasure and for the table. That's the right way to think about this bottle: it isn't a trophy, just a chance to see what time does to an honest Alsace Pinot Gris.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Choucroute garnie; roast pork loin with caramelized apples; tarte flambée with onions and lardons; roast chicken with morels and cream; washed-rind cheeses like Munster.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Alsace Pinot Gris profile: ripe pear, yellow apple and a hint of smoke, with a rounded, slightly oily texture and moderate acidity, often with a touch of richness rather than bone-dry austerity. With long bottle age, the style typically moves toward honeyed, nutty and dried-fruit notes, finishing softly savoury. Think fuller and rounder than an Italian Pinot Grigio.
