Furstentum

2005 Alsace Pinot Gris

The Albert Mann Furstentum is a remarkable representation of white wine from the renowned Alsace region, showcasing the exceptional qualities of the Pinot Gris varietal. This vintage from 2005 reveals a beautifully balanced profile, characterized by a full-bodied structure that envelops the palate with complexity. The wine exhibits a high level of acidity, providing a refreshing crispness that enhances its overall vibrancy. With prominent fruit intensity, expect enticing notes of pear, apple, and subtle stone fruit to dance alongside delicate floral undertones. The dryness of this wine further contributes to its food-friendly nature, making it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, from seafood to creamy pasta. As you savor each sip, the well-integrated tannins offer a gentle grip, enhancing the wine's depth and leaving a lasting impression. This is a delightful choice for those looking to explore the sophisticated elegance that Alsace has to offer.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
