Tasting Note

This is a wonderful expression of Pinot Gris. A fresh nose of peach and mirabelle plum, with hints of white flowers. The attack is energetic, suave and saline. The palate is elegant and pure, with good acidity. This is a harmonious, dry wine with an easy-to-digest balance.

Food Matching

Vol au vent, button mushrooms, Parmentier of duck confit. Quiche lorraine, salads.
