Pierre Sparr
Grande Réserve Alsace Pinot Blanc
Alsace, France
Friday night I opened the 2020 Pierre Sparr Grande Reserve Pinot Blanc from Alsace.
On the nose the was apple, peach, yeast notes, white flowers, spice, minerality and crushed gravel.
On the palate was green apple, peach, yeasty bread, spice and minerality.
This wine is medium to medium+ body and medium to medium+ acidity with a medium to medium+ citrus mineral finish. I am always expecting more out of the pinot blancs but the never seem to get there for me. It is a nice wine don't get me wrong, I just hope for more. I hope your weekend has been good and looking forward to a prosperous week ahead. Please be sage and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Very light hay color. Clean lemony nose. Peachy. A rad sweet.

Pretty neat Pinot Blanc from Alsace. It’s got this floral, honeysuckle, clean umami vibe going for it. Just released in US so tasting pretty fresh.

E’ piu dolce che ho aspettato. Non cera male per apertivo, ma non sarebbe perfetto con sashimi pesce crudo. Forse non bisogno di prendere ancola.

Slightly sweet, tart, light bodied. Weak mineral aromas, short finish. Ideal for pairing with food.

Decent heft to this Pinot Blanc, a varietal toiling in relative obscurity... fresh red apple & citrus on a shy nose, some nuances of the herbaceous - silky if a bit viscous on the palate with lively acidity. Straight forward unapologetic in lacking complexity- great for aperitif or light fare
