2022 Reuilly Pinot Gris Rosé
Domaine de Reuilly

Pinot Gris


Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris, or “Gray” Pinot feels like a misnomer once you lay eyes on ripened bunches of this variety. “Pink” or “Peachy” Pinot could have been a more apt description for the glowy, violet-hued orbs this “white” variety sprouts. At Domaine de Reuilly, Pinot Gris is planted on soil rich in sand and gravelly deposits resulting from the erosion of the Massif Central, giving a vivid and edgy expression of an otherwise supple and fragrant variety. After harvest, vigneron Joseph de Maistre lets berries linger a bit in the press to extract some pigment from the skins, which lend an autumnal blush of color. While it could pass for a blanc on the palate, this wine lives in its own category between white and rosé, perfectly exemplifying the French expression vin gris that describes this style of brief skin-contact vinification.
With fresh and floral notes of bergamot, white peach, and lychee, it pairs to perfection with a range of options. Ceviche, goat cheese tarts, pad thai, or green salads topped with roasted squash, tart dried cherries, and toasty pumpkin seeds are just a few flavorful ideas for such an invigorating wine. It can be challenging to find artisanal bottles anywhere (ones that are made organically and biodynamically no less!) for under twenty dollars, but with this sharp discount now is a great time to stow away a few Reuilly gris for the season.

About The Producer
Domaine de Reuilly
About The Region
Loire
The defining feature of the Loire Valley, not surprisingly, is the Loire River. As the longest river in France, spanning more than 600 miles, this river connects seemingly disparate wine regions. Why else would Sancerre, with its Kimmeridgian limestone terroir be connected to Muscadet, an appellation that is 250 miles away?
Secondary in relevance to the historical, climatic, environmental, and cultural importance of the river are the wines and châteaux of the Jardin de la France. The kings and nobility of France built many hundreds of châteaux in the Loire but wine preceded the arrival of the noblesse and has since out-lived them as well.
Diversity abounds in the Loire. The aforementioned Kimmeridgian limestone of Sancerre is also found in Chablis. Chinon, Bourgueil, and Saumur boast the presence of tuffeau, a type of limestone unique to the Loire that has a yellowish tinge and a chalky texture. Savennières has schist, while Muscadet has volcanic, granite, and serpentinite based soils. In addition to geologic diversity, many, grape varieties are grown there too: Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Melon de Bourgogne are most prevalent, but (to name a few) Pinot Gris, Grolleau, Pinot Noir, Pineau d’Aunis, and Folle Blanche are also planted. These myriad of viticultural influences leads to the high quality production of every type of wine: red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert.
Like the Rhône and Provence, some of Kermit’s first imports came from the Loire, most notably the wines of Charles Joguet and Château d’Epiré—two producers who are featured in Kermit’s book Adventures on the Wine Route and with whom we still work today.

Kermit once said...
For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
