Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Flandre
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Flandre.
Rich, ample whites with a golden robe, showing aromas of pear, quince, honey, smoke, ginger and spice. Made as structured dry wines (Alsace AOC), off-dry and sumptuous late-harvest sweet (vendange tardive, sélection de grains nobles). Lighter and crisper in Italy as Pinot Grigio (Veneto, Friuli). Also in Germany (Grauburgunder), Hungary (Szürkebarát) and Oregon. A grey mutation of Pinot Noir.
Northern Belgian vineyard (~60% of national production), sandy and clay-limestone soils, temperate maritime climate comparable to Champagne 30 years ago. Signature Chardonnay as white king: taut and precise with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, brioche and chalky touch — base for fresh and precise sparklers. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), round Pinot Meunier, vibrant Riesling. PIWI (Solaris, Johanniter) as complements.
