GEOLOGY: Clay is the essential component of this wine. Pinot Gris on this terroir have a weighty structure and take time to reveal their true nature. The strong presence of clay explains a taste of tannins even if this is a white wine!
VINEYARD: This wine is crafted with respect for nature, following organic practices to preserve the purity of the grapes and the balance of the ecosystem. No synthetic chemicals or pesticides are used, allowing the vineyard to thrive naturally and express its true terroir.
CELLAR: The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed in whole bunches. After a long, delicate pressing, the juice undergoes a gentle static settling in tanks. A slow, cool, natural fermentation in french oak barrels, which contribute to its smooth and rounded character.
TASTING
APPEARANCE: Pale straw. Brilliant in clarity.
NOSE: Lifted aromas of pear, green apple, and cinnamon spice, with a delicate hint of toasted spice adding depth.
PALATE: Fresh and dry with a rounded texture and a fine acidic backbone, the palate beautifully combines the fresh flavors of green apples, pears, and ‘just picked’ quinces with the exotic spicy undertones of cinnamon and cloves. A subtle, lightly wooded character enhances the wine’s complexity, bringing finesse and a smooth, lingering finish.
FOOD & WINE
The gentle acidity and marked fruitiness of a well-balanced Pinot Gris perfectly complements roast pork with a stewed pear sauce, or match with creamy pastas, poultry and seafood.
ABOUT THE LABEL
The yellow circle reflects the wine’s luminous golden hue — the hallmark of Pinot Gris at its most radiant. The circles illustrate the structure imparted by barrel ageing, with the center representing our ideal harmony: when the influence of the barrel works in perfect symbiosis with the pure, unadulterated character of the wine.
