    Very fresh, bright young colour, pale pistachio green, slightly yellow and quite unctuous. Frank aromatic expression, delicately perfumed, of flowers (rose, jasmine), fruit (apricot, golden delicious apple) and spice (cardamom, saffron), with a lively and spring-like freshness.

    Pinot Gris 2022 Classic Hugel

    Written by Helen Wilson

    Pinot Noir ‘Grossi Laüe’ 2014

    Written by bluestone0924

    A bouquet of fresh soft fruit; cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, with woodland hints and a touch of pepper. Very attactive on the palate, it is soft and supple, well-balanced, nicely structured with excellent tannins that give it a light but solid framework.

    Pinot Noir Classic
