PINOT GRIS 2019
Among Alsatian wines, it is one of the most aromatic white wines, notably classified among the "noble grape varieties" of Alsace.
Presentation
It is a wine of great aromatic complexity. It exalts particularly smoky, undergrowth, mushroom and dried fruit aromas.
The vintage
The 2019 wine year was all about contrast once again.
The late summer refreshment left us with some very nice, ripe acidity. The harvest started on September 10, 2019, which is a very normal date.
