Pinot Gris Tradition 2022 AOC Neuchâtel, Château d'Auvernier

This white wine is called Pinot Beurot in Burgundy, Malvoisie in Valais, formerly Tokay in Alsace or Pinot Grigio in the south.
Rich, full-bodied and complex, the Pinot Gris is harvested very mature. It gives a dry wine of dark golden hue.This full, sparkling wine puts a wonderful finishing touch to a meal.
It is much appreciated with fish in sauce and provides a surprising accompaniment to a blanquette of veal or a farm capon. It has no trouble blending with cheeses of character, even after a red wine.
