Pinot Gris Brulant
D.O.P.
The Pinot Gris is the testimony of our territory and it is varietally identifiable. The grapes reach complete maturation and after being chilled for a night they are whole cluster pressed, to preserve its precious aromatics. The yield is still limited as the vines are still young, being planted recently to replace vines that were too old.
