Description

A multi-vineyard blend, the Roche Calcaire Gris is intentionally made to style, with consistency vintage on vintage, the driving factor in what parcels of fruit Olivier chooses to use in any given year.

Complex fruit aromas; think stone fruit, autumn orchard fruits as well as an underlying minerality (like all their wines), drive the intense nose here. It’s a wine that is ripe and approachable right on release, though again like all their wines will reward those who have patience.

A beautiful velvety mouth texture that shows great energy, lives in perfect harmony with the natural acidity creating a perfect balance with the slight residual sugar. It’s a mouth-party kind of wine for sure!

94 Points - "Here’s a stunning wine for lovers of rich Alsace pinot gris, the very lively acidity enabling it to carry a hint of sweetness without any trouble at all. Serious, chalky structure behind all the flesh and wonderfully bright citrus character at the powerful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes." - JamesSuckling.com

All Pinot Gris vineyards located on a limestone geology on the Domaine have in fact a single vineyard status (Clos Windsbuhl, Clos Jebsal, Heimbourg and Rotenberg). Most vintages, this wine is made from the young vines of Pinot-Gris planted in the early 90s on the Clos Windsbuhl. Some years, we decide to add some other vineyards. In 2019, the production of Clos Jebsal, Clos Windsbuhl and Heimbourg were added to the Roche Calcaire.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
