White dry
For those seeking an exceptional organic and biodynamic wine, Bott-Geyl Pinot Gris Les Éléments Alsace is an unrivaled choice that reflects a philosophy of sustainability and the true winemaking potential of the Alsace region.
The wine exudes elegant aromas of stone fruits, dried fruits, linden honey, and white flowers. On the palate, notes of ripe pears beautifully harmonize with a zesty citrus acidity. The finish is smooth yet wonderfully long-lasting.
This "Les Éléments" cuvée is crafted from 'Pinot Gris' grapes grown in the unique terroir of Alsace, where a diverse range of soils—including granite, limestone, and clay—imparts an exceptional character and distinct minerality to the wine.
Serve at 10–13 °C with hot and cold white meat appetizers, salads with chicken gizzards, and Asian dishes.
Domaine Bott-Geyl is one of the most prominent and highly regarded wine producers in the Alsace region (France), reflecting deep winemaking traditions and an unconditional respect for nature. Jean-Christophe Bott, who has managed the estate since 1993, has turned this property into a true benchmark of biodynamic winemaking. If you are looking for complex, age-worthy "Riesling", "Gewurztraminer", or "Pinot Gris" wines that impeccably reflect the unique local terroir, this producer will offer a top-class, authentic Alsace experience.
Alsace Grand Cru and Biodynamic Philosophy
Jean-Christophe Bott, upon taking over the family estate, drew inspiration from the best French winemakers and soon implemented strict organic (since 2000) and biodynamic (since 2002) farming principles. The estate manages prestigious Grand Cru vineyards such as Sonnenglanz, Schoenenbourg, and Mandelberg. The grapes yield in small quantities, are harvested exclusively by hand, and fermentation in the cellar occurs naturally using wild yeasts and long aging on the lees. This allows for the creation of wines of exceptional concentration and purity.

The mineral Riesling pairs perfectly with fish, seafood, sushi, or traditional Alsace dishes (e.g., Choucroute). The fragrant Gewurztraminer is an irreplaceable companion for spicier Asian cuisine, curry dishes, or pungent cheeses (e.g., Munster).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Domaine Bott-Geyl wines sweet?
Alsace wines can be deceiving with their fruity aroma, but most of Bott-Geyl's Riesling or Pinot Blanc wines are dry or off-dry. Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris often have a bit more natural sweetness, but it is always masterfully balanced with refreshing acidity.
Do these wines have aging potential?
Yes, especially Grand Cru classification wines and Vendanges Tardives (late harvest). Under the right conditions, they can age beautifully in the cellar for 10–20 years or more, developing complex aromas of honey, beeswax, and dried fruits.
Is the estate certified biodynamic?
Yes, Domaine Bott-Geyl holds both organic and biodynamic ("Biodyvin") certifications, confirming their strict commitment to sustainable winemaking without any synthetic chemicals.
