Few grape varieties have more range than the purplish-pinkish-grayish cousin of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris. Outside of Reuilly in the central Loire Valley, for instance, Pinot Gris finds no expressions like that of this rosé—or, more precisely, vin gris—made by the veteran vigneron Denis Jamain. Grown in the same Kimmeridgian limestone that distinguishes Chablisien Chardonnay, this Pinot Gris takes on an irresistibly mouthwatering and mineral character, brimming with notes of grapefruit, peach, and sea spray that make it a perfect pairing for fish tacos.
