More informations about the variety Pinot gris
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.

AOP from Flemish Heuvelland (West Flanders, 2005) on the south-facing slopes of Kemmel and Monteberg, well-draining sandy-loamy soils, cool climate tempered by the North Sea. Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Kerner are the signature whites: taut and precise with notes of citrus, apple, white flowers, and a mineral touch, cutting acidity — ideal for traditional-method sparkling wines. Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc as complements. Still wines, rosés, and sparkling wines.
