Step into this incredible dry pinot gris kaleidoscope and it could be difficult to get out again. Exotic, spicy, smoky, but also with a cool, herbal side, this defies every easy definition. Gigantic, concentrated and crazily vibrant on the full-bodied palate. Totally off the scale freshness at the lightning-strike finish. Although this is from a grape variety that theoretically is low in acidity, it has the highest acidity of any wine from this producer in 2022. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.—James Suckling

For some strange reason, the 2022 Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru had the highest acidity of all the wines harvested in 2022 - even a touch more than the Riesling Roche Calcaire. This is one of the mysteries of nature. Only a vestige of pear appears on the nose. The palate is absolutely focused. Tasted blind, this would be hard to recognize as a Pinot Gris. This is unreal with its chiseled, scalpel-like acid streak, wonderful and glorious. The pear of Pinot Gris returns on the finish. The 2022 is bracing, gorgeous, unusual and magical. There's far more Rangen than Pinot Gris. (Bone-Dry) -- Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous Media

From 59-year-old, 32 hectoliters per hectare-yielding vines on the rare volcanic sedimentary terroir of the Rangen, the 2022 Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Pinot Gris is based on ripe and healthy grapes that fermented into a very dry wine that starts super clear, intense and flinty on the extraordinarily deep, saline and individual nose that is aromatic yet in a subtle though substantial way. On the palate, the 2022 Pinot is a quite rich and powerful yet elegant. It tastes somewhat sweet but is utterly mineral and tightly structured by minerals, salts and fine, natural tannins. The fine bitters catch the moderate sweetness that comes as richness (not as sugar). The wine is extraordinarily complex and stimulating saline on the long finish that uplifts all the richness and makes this an extraordinary Pinot Gris as well as a great Rangen. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.--Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
