Hugel Selection de Grains Noble Pinot Gris 1998

Colour

Deep, concentrated yellow gold colour, nicely bright and unctuous.

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, zan and other exotic aromas explode to create a voluptuously engaging and promising bouquet.

Flavour

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

Pairing

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