It comes from a selection of the best plots located in Lucey, Bruley, Blénod les Toul and Buligny. These well-drained clay-limestone hillsides are protected from the humid winds from the West and provide a suitable sunshine.

Harvested manually at full maturity then pressed directly, without maceration, the Gamay (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) that make up this Gris de Toul are fermented at controlled temperature in order to preserve fruit and freshness. They are then vinified and aged on the lees separately in stainless steel vats and then assembled just a few weeks before bottling.

When tasted, the color is shiny, a dazzling candy pink, the nose is powerful and delicate at the same time, with notes of strawberry and raspberry. Round and fat on the palate, with flavors of red berries, supported by very nice freshness and a cherry finish.

Serve it around 9 °C, as an aperitif, with cold meats, quiches, or salads, couscous or exotic dishes, seafood or grilled fish.

Contains sulfites.
