Domaine Sérol Côte Roannaise AOP ‘Oudan’ 2019 giovanni-rosso This Pinot Gris is terrific

This Pinot Gris is terrific with Asian cuisine (slightly spicy Thai and Vietnamese foods)

with notes of redbush tea and cumin

The estate is a committed to preserve the traditions and not abandon the teachings of those who came before them

We also matured and fermented the wine in a two new barriques for familiarity and structure
