Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Haspengouwse Wijn.
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.
Flemish AOC of Hesbaye (south-east Flanders, Belgium), sandy-limestone soils (Belgium's "Côte d'Or"), cool temperate climate — ~45% of Flemish sparkling production. Chardonnay is the signature white: dry and taut with green apple, citrus, white flowers, butter and a chalky mineral note, lively acidity — a northern Burgundian style. Spiced Pinot Gris and full Pinot Blanc among the whites. Fine Pinot Noir as red.
