Emeric's note

A quiet glass after a long week

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

1728 is the year the Metz family cellar was built in Blienschwiller. Céline, the 11th generation, still makes every wine there, organically.

This Pinot Gris carries the date on its label, made by the same family, in the same cellar, nearly three centuries on.

A white for people who think they only drink red.

Where it comes from

Alsace map

The place

Alsace

Sheltered in the rain-shadow of the Vosges, Alsace is dry, sunny and planted to a mosaic of thirteen soil types. Its wines are named by grape — Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat — and run from bone-dry to nobly sweet. One of France's densest concentrations of organic and biodynamic estates. ~15,500 ha.
