About this wine
A 100% Pinot Gris from the Grand Cru Steinklotz vineyard, showing a pale golden color with aromas of pear, apple, and floral notes, along with smoky, forest-floor and fresh mushroom nuances in some vintages. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with ripe fruit flavors, a touch of honey, and a crisp, clean finish.
A more concentrated, complex Pinot Gris for those who already enjoy the variety's fuller-bodied style.
Sommelier's Note
"Steinklotz's smoky, forest-floor complexity sets this Pinot Gris apart from fruitier village-level bottlings — it's a Grand Cru that rewards patience and a good decant."
Food Pairings
Pairs well with foie gras, richer poultry dishes, and semi-hard cheeses; also enjoyable with mushroom-based dishes.
When to drink it
Fine dining, autumn and winter dinners, foie gras courses.
