Description
"Elegant and poised, this charming Pinot Gris shows white flesh stone fruit, rockmelon, poached pear and subtle spice aromas on the nose. The palate is equally attractive with lovely mid palate weight and roundness, delightfully supported by silky texture and refreshing acidity. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
A fresh, fruity and full-bodied Pinot Gris showing all the hallmark flavours you would expect from this variety in Alsace; pears, gingerbread and a hint of smokiness. Being just off-dry in style, there is a tiny bit of perceptible sweetness on the finish but not so much as to make it at all hard to drink. In fact, this wine is really easy to drink and versatile, making an especially good match with spicy food. A great value example.
Alsace is a picture postcard area of northeast France, peppered with pretty villages that wouldn’t look out of place in a book of German fairy tales. The Germanic influences don’t end there – the vineyards are planted with Riesling, the three Pinots and Gewürztraminer. Although it’s a mountain cooled part of France, Alsace is also the country’s sunniest region. This combination leads to wines of real fruit purity and intensity. This white was crafted by a cellar regarded as one of the finest co-op in all France.
