Faintly fungal aromas accrue to Weinbach's 2006 Pinot Gris Altenbourg Cuvee Laurence as they did to their other Pinot Gris bottlings of this vintage, but these are well-integrated into a citrus cream, caramelized peach, and marrow-like meat matrix. Furthermore, we are presented with an unusual sense of clarity and primary fruit juiciness for a 2006 of this variety, and the expression of residual sugar is understated and entirely supportive of the fruit. All the way through the finish, one confronts a lovely layering of citrus, pit fruit confiture, mushroom, and meat stock, along with alkaline and peat-like mineral nuances. I would plan to enjoy this over the next 3-5 years and suspect one would find interesting uses for it. This year, Domaine Weinbach will receive its official certification as organic and biodynamic growers. The Fallers did well in the difficult 2006 vintage - especially with those Gewurztraminer harvested before botrytis gained the upper hand - and with good reason expressed elation over the vibrancy and refinement that characterizes most of 2007s.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
