Domaine Mont's flagship wine — 100% estate Pinot Gris from Yoichi, lightly macerated before pressing for an amber hue, then wild-yeast whole-bunch fermented and aged one year in Taransaud barrels. Zero sulfite additions, unfiltered, unfined. Candied orange zest, ginger, and incense on the nose; textured, long, and gritty on the finish.
This is a masterpiece of Japanese viticulture. Its delicate balance of umami and acidity is unparalleled; it is a wine that defines the potential of Yoichi's Pinot Gris.
