Discover the grape variety: Auxerrois
Rich, round whites with tender mouth and moderate acidity, featuring aromas of ripe yellow fruits, white flowers, subtle honey, fresh almond and brioche notes. Often blended with Pinot Blanc in Alsace (cuvées labelled "Pinot Blanc" often contain a good proportion) and a pillar of Crémant d'Alsace. Also in French and Luxembourgish Moselle, Côtes-de-Toul and Baden. Lorraine grape, a Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc cross, half-sibling of Chardonnay.

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: Blanc de blancs (champagne)
Champagne made only from the Chardonnay grape. The expression has been somewhat overused by the intensive use made of it by certain large distributors of white table wines (or sparkling wines) who were thus seeking to promote their product.
