GRAPE VARIETY
Pinot Grigio 100%
TASTING NOTES
The Pinot Gris grapes that give life to this reserve grow on the long slopes and hills surrounding the village of Bergheim. Clay and limestone residues predominate in the composition of this soil. Pinot Gris is also a grape that needs harsh climates, and the strong temperature fluctuations make it particularly fragrant. This is why we can say that the 2021 vintage, which was characterised in Alsace by frost and large temperature fluctuations, benefited this grape variety by giving us very characteristic wines. In the glass, it is bright yellow gold. In this wine, aromas of sweet pear merge with a fresh saline scent. The palate is characterised by a creamy, slightly waxy texture that is not typical, but which counterpoints a lively lemon acidity. A savoury note of mature cheese leads to a long, savoury finish. Pinot Gris is a very versatile wine, in fact it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with hot first courses, foie-gras, grilled meat, medium-fat cheeses and, finally, it can accompany fresh fruit.
