The essence of Alsatian terroir in a glass
- Sonnenglanz's south-east-facing slopes, positioned between 220 and 270 metres altitude, capture optimal sunlight exposure. This orientation and elevation are fundamental to the vineyard's character and the wine's distinctive profile.
- The Grand Cru benefits from a particularly favourable microclimate with minimal rainfall—fewer than 500 mm annually. These arid conditions concentrate flavours and encourage the development of ripe, complex aromatics characteristic of the finest Alsatian Pinot Gris.
- This Grand Cru Pinot Gris displays remarkable richness and palate weight, with an unusually persistent finish. The combination of structure, elegance and refinement makes it a compelling expression of what Sonnenglanz terroir can achieve.

Product features : Trapet Sonnenglanz 2011 Pinot Gris White 75cl
In the mouth
Warm, well-balanced attack followed by impressive mid-palate weight. The finish is notably persistent, with good acidity supporting the richness. The overall impression is one of elegance married to substance.
On the nose
A sophisticated bouquet of ripe stone fruit and honeyed notes, with subtle mineral undertones. The aromatics are concentrated yet refined, revealing layers of complexity with aeration.
On the eye
Deep golden hue, suggesting maturity and concentration.
Breeding
It originates from fairly heavy, well-structured and very stony soil, derived from conglomerates of calcareous pebbles and interstratified marls from the Oligocene, bordering the Rhine graben.
This is a genuine achievement from Domaine Trapet—a wine that exemplifies what the Sonnenglanz terroir can express when vintage and winemaking align. It will appeal to those seeking complexity and structure in a white wine, whether as a food partner for refined cuisine or simply as a meditation on Alsatian quality. For collectors interested in exploring the depth of Grand Cru Pinot Gris, this merits serious consideration.
