History and Winemaking

Pinot Gris, formerly known as Tokay d’Alsace, is a grape variety whose reputation has been forged over centuries. Its ability to lend itself to over-ripening allowed the estate to create, in 1997, the Légende d’Automne cuvée. This cuvée, an intermediate between a generic wine and late harvest wines, is produced annually and is distinguished by its blue bottle, to evoke perfectly ripe grape berries. Since its creation, it has captivated wine lovers with its rich aromas and unique finesse.
