Description
Terroir
This Pinot Gris comes from a clay-limestone terroir, which allows the vine to have a very deep rooting. The grape variety planted here is a Pinot Gris with small berries which gives, in small quantities, a very concentrated juice. For this Sélection de Grains Nobles, there is a very high level of overmaturation of the grapes and a concentration of noble rot. At harvest time, the grapes had a candied aspect.
Pairing
It is an excellent aperitif, but it will also be marvellous with foie gras, dessert … or without any accompaniment!
Service
Between 8°C and 10 °C
Ageing
It is a wine for keeping, which can be enjoyed today as well as in 10 or 15 years.
