Pierre Trimbach rates 2007 as an outstanding vintage for Alsace. "I compare it to 2001," he told me. "The weather conditions were similar, with a great October leading to good noble rot at the end. The wines are very clean and focused, with very good acidity and nice sugar levels. It was the easiest vintage for us in 30 years because we could pick at our leisure. Of course, many growers started harvesting too early following their experiences in 2006." The earlier vintage is another matter: Trimbach describes it as "a bad year, like '91, '82 and '80." The family produced just one pinot gris and one gewurztraminer from this vintage, selling off much of the inferior stuff. "Some of the pinot gris fruit looked terrible," noted Trimbach. "The challenge was to get clean fruit in '06; grape sugars were not a problem."
