Pinot Blanc

This is a colour mutation of Pinot Noir. And while the indication of its birth is north eastern France, due to its proximity to Pinot Noir’s home in Burgundy, and due to its importance in Alsace winemaking, we’re gonna give it to Alsace. Unless someone can put us wise to another location.

Pinot Gris

Again this is a colour mutation of Pinot Noir. Again its relative proximity to Burgundy and this grapes particular popularity in this region, we’re gonna set its homeland as ALSACE. Unless you know can advise us otherwise :)
