Nice gold color. Expressive, elegant and complex nose of white flower, bush peach and grilled bread notes. The wine is well-structured, full-bodied, warm, powerful and generous. This Pinot Gris is slightly softened by a hint of sugar which gives an unctuous and fleshy side even if it stays medium-dry. With its excellent length, this wine will be appreciated by all wine lovers.
