NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Grand Cru wine is made from the Pinot Gris grape variety, which is known for producing rich and full-bodied white wines.On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits such as pear and apple, accompanied by floral notes of honeysuckle and a hint of spice. The palate is equally impressive, with a luscious texture and a perfect balance between its subtle sweetness and acidity. Pair this wine with rich and creamy dishes such as roasted poultry, foie gras, or even spicy Asian cuisine, like sweet and sour pork.
