Hugel Selection de Grains Noble Pinot Gris 1990

Colour

Bright, deep gold yellow.

Bouquet

An exceptionally intense, richly integrated, harmonious bouquet of ripe fruit, noticeably over-ripe grapes. Aromas of apricot, date, fig, grape, hazelnut, honey, liquorice, quince, toffee, and other exotic aromas explode to create a voluptuously engaging and promising bouquet.

Flavour

Soft, fatty, sweet, and meltingly tender on the palate. The wine reveals inner depths of elegance and richness. It displays a perfect balance and an extremely long finish.

Pairing

Ideal when served with foie gras, whether pan-fried or roasted, it can also be enjoyed on its own or with blue cheeses.
