History
Even though the Pinot Blanc is very old (already known in the 16th century), it achieved its present reputation only during the last few years. This grape variety is not originating from the Bourgogne (Burgundy) region but comes from Northern Italy. It was first introduced by the Anglo-Saxons. The French then also discovered it gradually and they began to appreciate this wine for its qualities of freshness, suppleness and its food-friendliness.
Location
Our Pinot Blanc is located essentially in the Grands Crus Saering & Spiegel as well as the localities of BUx and Bollenberg.
Wine-making
Pneumatic pressing, static racking. Fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns for one to four months. Maturing for seven months on fine lees.
Gastronomy
Do not hesitate to associate this wine with the local cuisine, a Vigneronne salad, onion tart or why not, Japanese cuisine such as salmon maki. Serve at 12°C.

The nose is open and pleasant, with a deep intensity. We can feel a dominant of fruity fragrances, citrus, lemon, white fruits, golden apple and a fine floral note. Airing enhances the previous aromas and reveals a smoky, empyreumatic character. The nose expresses the fine, classic character of this wine. The grapes are healthy and ripe.
The onset in the mouth is full, the alcohol support is balanced. The wine evolves in a medium with a sharp liveliness, pithy and marked by a sparkling note.
