Urfé Hors-Piste Domaine des Pothiers 2022

Pinot Gris, an iconic grape variety derived from Pinot Noir, originated in Burgundy, present in Alsace since the 17th century, also flourishes beautifully in the heart of the Loire Valley winegrowing landscape. The Pinot Gris vines, perched on a granite terroir, are cultivated with precision and care, following organic and biodynamic methods. The grapes are exclusively hand-picked and carefully sorted before being pressed immediately. The juices are then lightly settled before being carefully fermented at low temperature. The cuvée is then aged in 500 litre barrels and foudres (large capacity tuns) for 11 months before being bottled.
The clear shiny colour reveals a fresh and fruity bouquet. On the palate, aromas of dry fruit combine with indulgent gingerbread flavours, culminating in a vibrant, persistent finish.
