Grape

Pinot Gris

Origin
Within France, Alsace is where Pinot Gris is most revered. One of the noble varieties it provides rich, usually dry wines that can be partnered with food without the distraction of too much aroma. In Alsace the synonym Tokay d'Alsace is often used.
Taste
This wine has a lovely aromatic and flowery nose. The palate is rich and well-balanced showing peaches, apricots and white blossom.
Enjoy
With a dry, fresh finish, this wine will partner a range of foods, particularly smoked fish and meats as well as salads.

    I quite like this wine!

    I think that Bill's, review is somewhat negative. This is a very pleasant wine that works well with food such as onion tart or smoked fish. If you can get it at the discounted price of £7.99, I would even add a fourth star.

    Don't waste your money

    I stayed in the Kientzheim/Ribeauville area of Alsace in 2009 and 2010 and of all the grape varieties pinot gris was my favourite, a pleasure on its own and and with just about any kind of food. The smell, perfume, nose, or whatever you call it put me in a good mood, the taste lingered in the mouth and on the way down. As the glass emptied, the wine tried to stick to the inside of the glass, such was the body/viscosity--and I'm talking about the local entry priced varieties. This Turkheim (a pretty town) variety had no nose to speak of, was thin and tasteless. The positive is, that I now know that all entry priced Alsace Pinot Gris are not the same, even from the good year of 2009. Buyer beware.

    Lovely fruity and more-ish!

    Have discovered this wine while dining at one of my favourite French restaurants. Is great with food or delicious on it's own!
