Marcel Deiss ‘Grasberg Cru’ Blanc ‘20

The Grasberg Cru Tendre from Marcel Deiss shimmers with a brilliant amber-tinged gold color, hinting at its development. The nose is remarkably complex and evolved, offering an intoxicating blend of tertiary aromas: dried apricot, beeswax, honey, ginger, and a subtle note of petrol. On the palate, it is unctuous and tender, as its name suggests, with a luscious, honeyed texture that is perfectly balanced by a bright, cleansing acidity that prevents any sense of heaviness. Layers of marmalade, toasted nuts, and saffron unfold across a seemingly endless finish. This late-harvest style wine is made from botrytized grapes and fermented to a sweet richness, yet it retains a stunning vitality. Earning 96 points for its breathtaking complexity and elegance, it is a classic pairing for foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts.
