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
Lush and ripe notes of pear, honeydew melon and spice combine for an extremely aromatic wine. The aromatics carry over to the flavours on the palate, creating a lush wine with a full mouth feel and slight spice in the finish. Slightly off dry in style, yet the defined acidity creates a lovely balance. This is a wine that impresses in every glass. Will continue to develop over the next 6 years.
