Always at the very top of the Alsace Pinot Blanc A-list and always good value. Fresh cream, a bit of orange blossom; plenty of nerve and backbone, which sets it above the lactic, soupy pretenders.

Great tension between the creamy/lactic qualities of Pinot Blanc and racy, citrus elements. Just the faintest hint of tender green herbs and minerals. Dirt cheap, given the high quality.

Stones and stone fruit. A little bit of RS a little bit of acid.

Different #wine than the mutations or genetics of Pinot Blanc I'm used to. neutral, fresh, young. Rich, round, aged on lees, maybe small RS, but it might just be the texture. Trapped gas? Feels prickly on the tongue.

Slightly heavy and lacks freshness due to RS.

Can’t expect much more from a Pinot Blanc. Well balanced and good tension. Light-medium bodied. Brie, grapefruit, green apple. Versatile partner and an excellent value.
