The 2005 Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Heimbourg Turckheim Sélection de Grains Nobles is a stunning sweet white wine from Alsace, France, crafted by the prestigious Domaine Zind-Humbrecht. This wine is produced from 100% Pinot Gris grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates their sugars and flavors, resulting in an exceptionally rich and complex dessert wine.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it presents a deep golden amber hue, reflecting its maturity and richness. The nose is intense and complex, offering ripe apricot, honey, candied citrus, mango, and quince, intertwined with layers of caramel, toasted almonds, and sweet spices.

On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced by fresh acidity, preventing it from being overly heavy. Flavors of dried tropical fruits, orange marmalade, saffron, and vanilla unfold seamlessly, leading to a long, unctuous finish with lingering notes of honey and spice. The wine has a silky texture and exceptional depth, showcasing both opulence and finesse.

Aging Potential

This Sélection de Grains Nobles (SGN) wine is built for long-term aging. It can easily evolve for 20+ years, developing even greater complexity and nuance over time.

Food Pairing

This exceptional sweet wine pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses (such as Roquefort or Stilton), or fruit-based desserts like tarte Tatin and crème brûlée. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a luxurious meditation wine.

Conclusion

The 2005 Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Heimbourg Turckheim SGN is an outstanding example of Alsace’s finest late-harvest wines, offering intensity, balance, and remarkable aging potential. A true masterpiece for lovers of noble sweet wines.
