An ultra-rare single-parcel Dom Gris sourced exclusively from Domaine Mont's own-rooted (ungrafted) Pinot Gris vines. Only 1–2 barrels are produced per vintage. Same zero-intervention winemaking as Dom Gris, but with a deeper expression of old-vine, own-rooted terroir.
The 'JK' bottling captures a level of purity and structural complexity that is absolutely essential for any serious collector — own-rooted Pinot Gris from Yoichi at its most profound.
New to wine?
A unique, orange-hued natural wine that tastes like a sophisticated, savory tea — a must-try for those who appreciate authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
Food Pairings
Pairs exceptionally well with delicate Japanese cuisine: sashimi, salt-grilled white fish, vegetable tempura, dashi-based dishes, and lightly seasoned poultry. The umami-rich depth also works beautifully with aged cheeses and foie gras.
When to drink it
Perfect for special dinners featuring high-quality Japanese ingredients, collector evenings, or as a meaningful gift for a serious wine enthusiast.
