Pierre Sparr’s rich Pinot Gris is grown from 31-year-old vines rooted in granitic, chalky-clay soil. After gentle-pressing, the must is fermented at low temperature in stainless-steel tanks and malolactic conversion is avoided. This vinification preserves alluring aromas of juicy apricots and peaches with mineral undertones. On the palate it has elegance, freshness and sweetness in a sleek body finished with a touch of smoke and spice.

Nice gold color. Expressive, elegant and complex nose of white flower, bush peach and grilled bread notes. The wine is well-structured, full-bodied, warm, powerful and generous. This Pinot Gris is slightly softened by a hint of sugar which gives an unctuous and fleshy side even if it stays medium-dry. With its excellent length, this wine will be appreciated by all wine lovers.
