Despite the later season, Pinot Gris was harvested on 20 February, helped by a light-to-moderate crop load of 5.2 t from 1.3 ha (~4 t\/ha). This allowed the fruit to reach full flavour ripeness early, moving the wine from the finer mid-weight profile of 2024 into a richer, more powerful Alsatian Grand Cru frame—dry, textural and layered, but still shaped by bright acidity and limestone tension.
