The 2018 Josmeyer Pinot Gris Brand is a Grand Cru Alsace white wine from the renowned Brand vineyard in Turckheim, France. Produced biodynamically by Domaine Josmeyer, this wine reflects the richness and mineral precision that define the granite-rich Brand terroir. The 2018 vintage delivered generous fruit concentration balanced by freshness and vibrant acidity. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe pear, apricot and citrus peel alongside honey, smoke and delicate floral nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a textured and slightly opulent mouthfeel balanced by lively acidity and mineral tension. Flavours of stone fruit, candied citrus and honeyed orchard fruits unfold alongside subtle smoky and spicy notes developed through careful maturation. The granite soils of the Brand Grand Cru contribute freshness and precision, leading into a long, dry and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Alsace Pinot Gris for customers seeking a richly textured yet finely balanced white wine with strong terroir character and ageing potential. The 2018 vintage is drinking beautifully now while retaining the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years. Best served lightly chilled with foie gras, lobster, roast pork, mushroom dishes or spicy Asian cuisine.
