{"id":523,"count":2,"description":"A paler mutation from Pinot Noir, originating in Burgundy where it is still theoretically allowable but rarely seen.  Perhaps most notable in Alsace where it was, for many years, known as Tokay (or Tokay d'Alsace) in an plagiaristic allusion to Hungarian Tokaji with which it has precisely nothing in common.  Here it can be rich and enveloping, quite hedonistic.  It most famously thrives in Italy (with many copy cat wines from Eastern Europe) as Pinot Grigio, occasionally quite pleasant but, when mass produced, sound if instantly forgettable.  The Antipodeans have had some recent success with slightly more citrussy Pinot Gris which are worth trying especially for those a bit Sauvignoned out.","link":"https:\/\/www.leaandsandeman.co.uk\/blog\/category\/grape-varieties\/pinot-gris\/","name":"Pinot Gris","slug":"pinot-gris","taxonomy":"category","parent":138,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>- Lea &amp;
