Sato, Pinot Gris "l'Atypique" 2022
Textural, aromatic, and intriguingly offbeat—this is Pinot Gris with a twist. Lean expressive and slightly wild, with ripe pear, quince, and stone fruit, layered with orange peel, spice, and a gentle floral lift.
On the palate, it’s richly textured yet fresh, with a subtle grip that hints at skin contact. Orchard and stone fruit flavours are wrapped in soft tannins, while bright acidity keeps everything lifted. A slightly oxidative edge—think nuts and dried fruit—adding depth and complexity.
Unconventional but beautifully balanced, this is a wine that rewards curiosity.
