History

Although the Pinot Blanc is a very ancient grape variety (already know in the 16th century), it was only truly recognized a few years ago. It does not come from Burgundy, but the north of Italy. It was first introduced by the Anglo-Saxons, and then gradually discovered by the French who appreciated its freshness, suppleness and ability to go with food.

Location

Our Pinot Blanc mainly comes from our SAERING and SPIEGEL Grand Cru plots and BUX and BOLLENBERG plots.

Tasting

The robe is a light golden yellow with light golden reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid, transparent. The wine has a fine youthful quality. The nose is marked, pleasant, expressive and gives out a dominant of juvenile, primary, fruity, scent, citrus fruit and very refreshing lemon peel. Airing enhances the fruity character, of lemon still, as well as delicate hint of fine vegetal. The frisky and refreshing nose is remarkable. The onset in the mouth is moderatly ample with a well balanced alcoholic base. One evolves on a fresh and edgy medium marked by a sparkling note. The range of flavours is focused on the dominant fruits and pastries. The finish offers a moderate lenght, 4 caudalies, and a sharp vivacity. The wine shows a slender and lengthy character without losing the freshness of the grape variety.
