"Based on Bennwihr Pinot Blanc, Gris and Noir as well as Auxerrois that are cultivated on a slope and were picked and pressed together, the 2023 Pierres Sauvages opens with a clear and aromatic bouquet of ripe pears and apples as well as earthy notes and a delicate phenol freshness. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a very intense yet well structured, saline and fine grippy white that is absolutely digestible and highly stimulating. It's a fabulous wine for every day and many dishes. Bottled with just 45 milligrams of total sulfur dioxide and 14% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted at the Domaine Deiss in November 2024."

"The 2022 Pierres Sauvages is a blend of all the Pinots of the domaine, mostly Auxerrois and Pinot Gris, with small supplements of Pinot Blanc, macerated on skins and white vinified Pinot Noir. The wine was made in foudre and stayed for a year on lees. There is an immediate touch of spice, almost like peppery gingerbread, amidst a juicy, ripe pear note. The palate is rounded with ripe fruit of Pinot Gris, but this fill of juiciness is held by a lovely structure and extract. The finish is dry and fresh. (Bone-dry)"
