| History | This Pinot Gris is the fruit of our Alpine terroir with a clear varietal identity: its grapes are harvested when fully ripe and, after a night of cooling, they are pressed whole, to preserve their precious and very delicate aromatic content. The yield of the 2018 vintage is low because these are new vineyards, in their first year of production, which replaced the old vines that gave birth in 1994 to our Pinot Grigio Vigne Brulant. |
| Pairings | Seafood starters, scallops au gratin, paella, mountain trout with herbs. |
