In homage to the Princes Abbots who, for more than 1,000 years, have maintained and made our vineyard of Guebwiller thrive, the classic range has been named “Les Princes Abbés”.
The colour is light yellow with bright highlights, of medium intensity,dominant of fruity scents, citrus fruit, lemon, floral scents, white flowers and a fine touch of spice, ginger. Airing enhances the previous aromas and reveals a fine, exotic character of pineapple and blood orange. The finish offers a good length, 6-7 caudalies and a frank and persistent liveliness. The balance of this wine is based on freshness. Marked by a fine degree of maturity, it expresses great tonicity and energy. A beautiful wine.

This traditionally powerful style of Alsatian pinot gris is still youthful, despite its five years of age. Deep straw in colour, it shows layers of bold pear compote, guava and baked apple fruits with distinct floral overtones. That generosity of fruit continues on a punchy palate with a rounded texture that is kept in check by an acid bite before a lingering, creamy finish. A good match for quality washed rind cheeses.
