Tasting notes
Coppery gold. Extremely rich on the nose. Spicy, a bit sweet. Looser than some, though there is a lychee-fruit undertow. Long with some green fruit elements in the flavour that stop it being a typically flabby Pinot Gris. This wine certainly has structure. (JR)

A spicy fruit bomb on the nose. Superripe, dense and rich, with expressive flavors of apricot, peach, quince jelly and spices nicely framed by brisk acidity and lifted by a note of green apple. A step up in structure from the Heimbourg. Finishes spicy, firm and long.
