An original and very charming Pinot Blanc d'Alsace
Presentation
The vintage
Strength and determination: two words that describe the 2022 Alsace growing season perfectly. Challenges included heavy frost during spring, hailstorms in June and severe drought in the summer. The talents of our vineyard team paid off and we harvested perfect grapes beginning August 26. In the cellar, the vintage is promising. The wines have lovely acidities, intense aromas and the beautiful typicity of their terroir.
Terroir
Essentially calcareous-clay
Ageing
After the first fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a malolactic fermentation in 1-2 years-old oak barrels pursues until the wine is bottled in September. The lees are stirred lightly during the process.
