About this wine
A rich, textured Grand Cru Pinot Gris from Rosacker's dolomitic limestone. Honeyed and smoky in character, with the site's mineral intensity giving the wine backbone and length beyond a typical village-level Pinot Gris.
For those who love rich whites — think of it as a mineral-driven alternative to an oaked Chardonnay.
Sommelier's Note

Pairs beautifully with foie gras, roasted duck, and creamy mushroom dishes; also complements rich Japanese dishes like unagi (grilled eel).
