Domaine Migot - Côtes de Toul 'Vin Gris' 2025

You can track the source of the Mosel – let’s call it “Moselle” ’cause we’re in France – to about 100 kilometers south and west of Strasbourg, in France’s Alsace. It begins up in the Vosges mountains, on the western flank, wandering some 300-plus kilometers north before crossing into Luxembourg and Germany.

The specialty of the region is probably the “Vin Gris,” a waxy, deep and mouth-coating salmon-tinged rosé that, despite its depth, quivers with acidity. Migot’s version is almost incomprehensible in its combination of texture and power, with lightness and zing. The general blend is about half Pinot Noir and half Gamay.

The Mosel River begins in Alsace but spends most of its time running north through the Lorraine, the ignored little-brother of Alsace. This is the homeland of rosé, here called “Vin Gris.” For those looking for wines of finesse and delicacy, this is a thrilling region and there is no one better than the young Camille Migot: all hand-harvested, certified organic, all wild-yeast fermentations, NO chaptalization. SERIOUS. The Vin Gris is the calling card of the region, layered rosé that carries the nervous energy of the north.
