Age of Vines: 15-65 years. No fining. After pressing, cold settling before fermentation begins, all fermentation is natural, vinified in foudre. From Grand Cru Brand, Young vine grand cru (both Sommerberg and Brand depending on vintage)
This wine features notes of pears, apples, stonefruit, sweet spices and even a hint of smoke or wet wool.
"Earthy Pinot Gris as dramatic and flinty as this, with a hint of residual sugar, demands an assertive pairing. Try it with smoked sausage and mustard, served with a wintry purée of parsnip and rutabaga to highlight its savory side. If there’s any wine left in the bottle, finish it off with some sticky Muenster and ripe pears and you’ll never be happier you saved a drop." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
