Description of the wine Pinot Gris Vieilles Vignes 1997
Originating only from the Herrenweg vineyard, those vines were planted in 1946. The alluvial soil produced a very exotic and aromatic Pinot-Gris .

The wines from Herrenweg are accessible and generous in their youth and although they are often best enjoyed at this stage can surprise 10 or even 20 years later.
