This winery, celebrated for its meticulous and organic approach to viticulture and winemaking, produces wines that are highly regarded for their quality and expression of terroir.

This particular Pinot Gris is notable for its dry style, which is somewhat less common for Alsace Pinot Gris, typically known for their richer and sometimes off-dry profiles.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, it exudes complex aromas of ripe orchard fruits like pear and apple, complemented by hints of honey, almond, and a touch of smokiness.On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, displaying a rich texture balanced by a refreshing acidity. It showcases flavors of ripe pear, quince, and a hint of citrus, along with a minerality that adds depth and character. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasing dryness and a lingering aftertaste of fruit and subtle spice.
