History
Originally named Tokay d’Alsace, then Tokay Pinot Gris, this type of vine is not related to the Hungarian Tokaji, which comes from the Furmint type of vine. In reality it is a pinot from Burgundy that became known in Alsace from the 17th century. The name Pinot Gris is generalized since 2007.
Location
Primarily produced in the named locality of Schimberg situated in the valley of Guebwiller, on a volcanic subsoil, our Pinot Gris benefits from a full South exposure.
Wine-making
Slow pneumatic pressing, static racking. Fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns for 1 to 4 months. Maturation on lees from 6 to 8 months.
Gastronomy
A wine that is already open and delicious, characterized by a generous aromatic palette of white fruits. The palate is elegant, balanced, and possesses great finesse. It combines aromas of cooked pears and notes of honey in a rounded but not sweet texture.
The length is dense, imbued with the vintage, reminiscent of toasted cereals and caramel. A charming wine for every occasion.
