Aroma
A wine that displays an attractive character from the start. The aromas of white
fruits stand out and give a character of freshness to the nose, accentuated by a
sensation of fresh breadcrumbs.
Maturation
Maturing for seven months on fine lees.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is dry, straight, ample
and refreshing. A floral character testifies to its freshness and brings lightness
to the whole. The length is digestible and fresh, maintaining palatability.
Vinification
Pneumatic pressing, static racking. Fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns for
one to four months.
Food Matching
I like to pair it with mackerel in white wine, three-fish sushi, pea and carrot curry
or goat’s milk cheese.
Region Notes
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.
