Pinot Blanc
A.O.C. ALSACE
Often described by wine lovers as a gently swinging melody, Pinot Blanc embraces life with effortless charm. Like ripe fruit refreshed by a delicate acidity, it offers balance, grace, and generosity. Supple and adaptable—much like an acrobat who always lands on their feet—Pinot Blanc shines with ease, whatever the pairing. In short, it is a wine of natural elegance, both charming and perfectly poised.
History
In 1896, following a decision made at the Chalons Congress, Pinot Blanc was officially distinguished from Chardonnay. This white mutation of Pinot Noir was first identified in 1895 by Pulliat in Chassagne-Montrachet, and later in 1896 by Durand in Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow in color, this wine is clear and bright. The nose is fresh and delicately fruity, revealing notes of peach and apple with subtle floral nuances. Expressive yet restrained, it offers a lively and precise interpretation of the grape’s character.
Food & Wine Pairing
Pinot Blanc is wonderfully versatile, making it an ideal companion from appetizer to main course. It pairs beautifully with simple, refined dishes such as fish, white meats, poultry, and egg-based recipes (omelettes, eggs Benedict, quiches). It is also a delightful match with soft cheeses.
