Pinot Gris grown on the steep, stony marl-limestone slopes of Grand Cru Kirchberg de Barr, sheltered by a curtain of parasol pines. Golden yellow with ochre hints, an open, smoky, and spicy nose, with beautiful acidity and ripe quince, peach, and apricot flavors; full-bodied and broad with a spicy finish.
The parasol pines sheltering this vineyard aren't just scenery — they're part of why this Pinot Gris shows such concentration.
