Due to its west to northwestern exposition and higher altitude (up to 350 meters), where the grapes ripen very slowly, the Rotenberg can produce excellent botrytis grapes; but in 2012 the grapes remained healthy and were picked not too late in order to produce a dry 2012 Pinot Gris Rotenberg. Pale yellow in color and with chalk and lemon flavors on the still somewhat reductive Champagne nose, this is a full-bodied, elegant, very firm and zesty, quite austere wine that still does not flow on the palate; it does not have the broadness of the great 2013, but I am curious to retest this wine again in five or six years.
