All the Alsatian grape are present in the vines: riesling, gewurztraminer, pinots (white, gray and black), muscat, sylvaner and even, for Crémants, chardonnay and auxerrois. The estate uses sustainable farming practices and is in conversion to organic. All Grand Crus are in conversion Demeter (biodynamic). Emile Beyer Pinot Gris Tradition is a succulent and fruity wine when tasted alone. It pairs extremely well rich foods such as liver pate, foie gras and rich sauces, or with spicy dishes, where the residual sugar and lower acidity are balanced and harmonious. Pinot Gris represents less than 20% of the planting in Alsace but is highly prized for it great depth of flavour and ability to complement a wide range of cuisines. Sommelier’s advice: when in doubt, go to Pinot Gris.”
