Three grape varieties from Alsace shine in this blend, combining intense fruit with tropical notes and a subtle minerality.  More info

The Grange de l’Oncle Charles is a unique Alsatian estate combining organic and biodynamic viticulture with horse-drawn tillage. Jérôme François is an expert in blending his wines, and his La Belle Colline vintage is a delicious combination of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.
The vines thrive on south-facing, marly slopes at both ends of the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru. Harvested by hand, the grapes are fermented together and the resulting wine is aged for a year on its lees in old French oak casks. In the spirit of a vinification that respects both the vines and the consumer, no additives are added during the bottling process.
Purity and intensity emerge on the nose. Fresh flowers and yellow fruit are complemented by discreet hints of citrus. On tasting, the minerality is more pronounced, with dominant fruit flavours of pineapple and lemon. The finish offers a refined bitterness and a hint of salinity that tantalises the taste buds.

Vin de France La Belle Colline La Grange de l'Oncle Charles serve at a temperature of 9°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Aumonières de saumon, Cuisses de grenouille en persillade, Asperges vertes.
