A spectacular Pinot Gris Vendanges Tardives with fantastic ageing potential.  More info

This Pinot Gris is grown on a marlaceous limestone terroir, using organic and biodynamic methods. The vagaries of the seasons are palpably expressed in the wines, with a balanced richness and distinct personality. Grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a pneumatic pressing to release the aromas in all their purity. The length of fermentation varies from between 1-4 months and the wine matures in 100 year-old oak barrels or stainless-steel vats. These two maturation repositories do not in fact imbibe the wine with any particular aroma, rather allowing the fruit to express all their nuanced flavour. This is a finely-tuned wine, balancing its mellow character with a bright, fresh acidity. After several years in the cellar it pairs magnificently with Thai cuisine and other coriander-based dishes or exotic fruits.

Pinot Gris Grand Cru Brand Vendanges Tardives Josmeyer (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 11°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Tarte Tatin, Escalope de fois gras aux pommes, Terrine de foie gras.
