The wine region of Côtes de Toul
Lorraine AOC between Toul and the Meuse (~75 ha, vineyard sung by Ausonius in 350 AD), semi-continental cool climate, clay-limestone hillsides. Vin gris signature speciality: pale rosé blending Gamay (<=85%) and Pinot Noir (>=10%) by direct pressing — fresh and fruity with raspberry, redcurrant, citrus and floral touch, lively thirst-quenching finish. Ample Auxerrois in white and airy Pinot Noir in light red. Revived Lorraine identity, everyday wine.
The wine region of Moselle
World benchmark for cool-climate German Riesling, on vertiginous blue and grey slate slopes. Pure, precise whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and marked chalky minerality ("gunflint"), low alcohol (~8-10%), taut acidity and crystalline tension. From dry Kabinett to sweet Auslese, up to luscious Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. Also Müller-Thurgau and Elbling.
The word of the wine: Grand Cru
In Burgundy, the fourth and final level of classification (above the regional, communal and premier cru appellations), designating the wines produced on delimited plots of land (the climats) whose name alone constitutes the appellation. The climats classified as Grand Cru are 32 in the Côte d'Or plus one in Chablis which is divided into 7 distinct climats. Representing barely 1.5% of the production, the Grand Crus are the aristocracy of Burgundy wines.
