Cuvée Balthazar Alsace Pinot Blanc

Pale lemon in color.

Aromatic nose of pears, apples, citrus, minerals, light honey and herbs.

Medium plus in body and refreshing, with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with apples, citrus, light apricots, spices, earth, light vegetables and sea salt.

This is a very tasty Pinot Blanc from Alsace. Nicely balanced and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Elegant and fruit forward.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with a grilled red snapper.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$18.

If you don't love Alsatian white wines than you don't like white wines. Medium bodied. White peach. Clean. Don't feel like the fruit was completely ripe here...

Super tasty juice.

Quite oxidized and old world. Added an interesting rested citrus and walnut tone. The mid palate was beyond the main focus. Heavy and wild at its core.

The nose is fairly closed but after a few minutes in the glass, I get faint whiffs of dried peach, almond kernels, and a slight lemony citrus. Body is medium with a slight touch of dried peach and a dusty minerality. The acidity is persistent and out of balance with the fruit. This is a very simple wine.

Light and crisp

I liked it! Was good with chicken Caesar salad and garlic butter baguette

Peaches, spices, lemon peel, almonds, wildflowers, and a hint of dried apricot. Indubitably Alsace and exactly what you need to wash down some spicy Thai food. 🌶️

Peach and lemon on the nose up front. Opens up to something warm and nutty with dried fruit. Medium acidity and a lovely clean finish with the minerality indicative of Alsatian wines. Does not overwhelm the palate.
