Tasting notes
The 2000 Pinot Gris Reserve Personnelle is a richer, riper, denser, and more powerful version of the Reserve model. Medium to full-bodied and sporting a smoky mineral-scented nose, it coats the palate with velvety-textured layers of white peaches, smoke, minerals, and spices. This is an extremely well-made wine for consuming between 2005 and 2014.

Musky aromas of orange oil, minerals and hazelnut. Very ripe, concentrated and deep, but comes across as just off-dry thanks to sound acids and the substantial alcohol. Rather bracing tokay, with the balance and backbone to last well in bottle. The Trimbachs thinned the crop in early August and again in early September, ultimately bringing in just 45 hectoliters per hectare.
