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

For lovers of fine white and rosé wines, there are few regions in the world quite as good as France's Alsace. The region itself is a particularly fascinating one, as it has long been fought over by France and Germany, resulting in a culture and wine industry which is something of a blend of the two countries. Wines in Alsace are almost all white, although there are more wineries now producing the pale red or pinkish Pinot Noir wines which the region is also renowned for. Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat are also grown in huge quantities across the Alsace, and most of the region's wines are made from these varietals. Overall, Alsace is a highly productive region of France, with over a hundred million liters of wine being produced annually from the nine permitted grape varietals the region grows.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
