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.

The wine region of Alsace

Fine, fruity Crémants d'Alsace, exceptional sweet Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. 15,500 ha at the foot of the Vosges on varied soils, 51 Grands Crus since 1975.
The word of the wine: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
