Score : 92 pointsThe Rieflé brothers farm 1.6 acres in Steinert, certified organic, their pinot gris at the lower part of the parcel. The name of the cru refers to the stoniness of the hillside, where the oolitic limestone comes to the surface, a soil built on the skeletons of microscopic sea creatures, which now provide structure to the ground and show a talent for water management that sustains the vines. This wine is as tight and airy as that soil structure might suggest, firmly dry, with a refined meadow-flower scent and enough juicy pinot gris flavor to round it out. § Maritime Wine Trading Collective, San Francisco, CA
