Scribbling Andy at www.spittoon.biz has unearthed a rare Pinot Gris in the heart of Muscadet country on the western end of the Loire Valley. Pinot Gris is generally only grown in Alsace in France (also at Pinot Grigio in NE Italy). The Vin de Pays des Marches de Bretagne is a small appellation just to the south and east of Nantes, along the valley of the Sevre Nantaise. "Marches" refers to border country - this being the border between Brittany, Poitou and Charentes.
