From reddish Jurassic limestone soils, the golden-yellow colored 2018 Grasberg "La colline où pousse l'herbe" offers a deep, precise and smoky bouquet of dried, sweet figs intermingled with pure and elegant terroir aromas. Lush, dense and rich but immediately saline and even crystalline on the first palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and elegant, concentrated, piquant, stimulating and bitter-finishing Grasberg with enormous extract, fine tannins and blood orange and lemon peel flavors on the aftertaste. Very long and yet not as smooth and generous as the 2019, the 2018 is certainly a wine with great aging potential. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. ...

A complex wine from Jurassic limestone terroir. Grasberg always has tension, and this initial tightness indicates a complexity that will continually express itself over time. The nose explodes with citrus peel, winter orange, and fresh mint leaves. The palate is entirely built on the acidic energy of perfectly ripe citrus fruits, giving the wine its signature vibrancy.

Region: Alsace

Step into any good wine store, and you'll easily be able to recognize the Alsatian wines, due to their slender, Germanic bottles which contain wines made from one or more of the grapes native to the region. The wines of Alsace are well known around the world, and for centuries they have been renowned for their quality and fascinating features. The grapes allowed to be used in Alsace wines are carefully overseen by the French government, and only nine different fine varietals are permitted to be grown within the vineyards of Alsace. Most commonly, wineries process Pinot Noir and Riesling varietal grapes for their wines, although it is also common to see a blend of other Germanic and French native grapes listed on the bottles.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
