Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Wallonie
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Wallonie.
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.
Southern Belgian vineyard (~36% of national production), clay-limestone and schist soils, cool temperate climate. Signature Chardonnay as white king (32% of Belgian vineyard): taut and precise with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers and chalky touch — base of fresh sparklers and chiseled whites on the rise. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth), round Pinot Meunier. Crémant de Wallonie as flagship specialty.
