Formerly called Tokay Pinot Gris; the word “tokay” has been banned from Alsace labels over confusion with the Hungarian wine region. A traditional dry, brisk, yet quite rich, maturing white, with musk, apricot, honey and almond. Some creamy
opulence with a dry salt and pepper and grapefruit finish.
