About this wine

Clos Jebsal is one of Zind-Humbrecht’s most revered parcels, a steep marl slope that regularly delivers unctuous, botrytised Pinot Gris of almost SGN intensity. The 1990 is a reference-point vintage, combining layers of dried apricot, candied citrus, honey and spice with a deep mineral core. Despite its luscious sweetness, the wine is held in perfect balance by racy acidity, allowing it to age for decades and remain remarkably fresh. This is a meditative, after-dinner wine rather than a simple dessert pour.

Tasting Note

Wine Advocate describes the 1990 Clos Jebsal as massively concentrated, with explosive aromas of honey, apricot and smoky minerals, an almost viscous texture and dazzling acidity that keeps the finish vibrant and endless.

In the glass

Deep golden-amber, viscous tears.

In the nose

Dried apricot, quince paste, acacia honey, candied citrus, smoke.

On the palate

Super rich and sweet yet lifted; endless honeyed, spicy, mineral finish.

Zind-Humbrecht

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of Alsace’s benchmarks for intensely expressive, terroir-driven whites. Biodynamic farming, extremely low yields and late harvesting give their wines a powerful, almost baroque concentration balanced by vibrant acidity. From Clos Jebsal to their Grand Crus, they craft single-vineyard bottlings that are unapologetically characterful and built for long aging.
