André studied in Burgundy before returning to Alsace to run the family domaine. Perhaps due to the former, he likes to harvest his Pinot Gris reasonably early, to keep freshness in the grapes. This allows him to make a drier wine than most of his peers. The result is a rich, intensely-flavoured white wine which gains even more complexity from its time in oak barrels. The nose shows yellow plum and delicate floral notes, while the palate has more ripe fruit flavours beautifully-intertwined with rich sweet spice notes from the oak. This will work incredibly well paired with Peking duck or sticky pork belly.
