Marie-Therese and Louis Rolly Gassmann, along with their son Pierre, create wines that are legendary throughout France and Europe. In 1997 they added a biodynamic philosophy to their traditional ongoing approach of minimal interference with the vines, rigorous selection of grapes, and the most careful handling of both harvest and vinification. These techniques lead to the production of wines of the highest quality. Rolly-Gassmann has a unique style, whereas all wines have a certain velvety sweetness. It is only as wines are tasted and deemed appropriately aged that the wines are released to the market, sometimes as many as 20 years after bottling.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow/straw colour. This Pinot Blanc offers aromas and flavors of apricot, pear, orange, grapefruit and marzipan. Youthful. Bone dry with great minerality, a good austere edge and lively acidity. This is a delicate wine with good acidity, ripe fruit and slight spiciness in the finish that lingers. A wonderful food wine that can be enjoyed over the next 10 years.
Method
Pinot Blanc grapes are biodynamically farmed. Minimal interference with the vines, rigorous selection of grapes, and the most careful handling of both harvest and vinification.
