The soil is warm and free draining, and gives wines of unusual mineral drive and smoky depth. Schoffit farms the Clos Saint-Theobald within the cru, working the slope by hand. Vendanges Tardives is a legally defined Alsace category requiring high must weights at picking and forbidding chaptalisation; the fruit is gathered in successive tries and fermented slowly, stopping at around 85 grams per litre of residual sugar. Pinot Gris takes botrytis readily and builds weight quickly, and the volcanic subsoil here supplies the smoky, savoury counterweight that keeps a wine of this richness in proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBroad and honeyed but savoury underneath, it suits foie gras, roast pork, mushroom dishes and washed rind cheese; serve at 8 to 10 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
