This is the white varietal of the Pinot Noir, which explains their physical similarities (leaves and grapes both). Also called the Clevner, it gives supple wines with a touch of acidity for freshness.
The Pinot Blanc is used to make wines that are particularly well-balanced between roundness and acidity. They are found in the mid-range of Alsace wines, between dry wines such as the Sylvaner andRiesling and sweeter wines such as Gewurztraminer. The Pinot Blanc goes perfectly with white meats such as poultry, pheasant and pork, with fish and with any kind of egg dish.
The wine is a clear, pale yellow with hints of green, depending on the lighting.
The bouquet is fresh with fruity notes of apple and peach, embellished with a touch of floral aromas.
On the palate the Pinot Blanc is instantly fresh with average acidity, making it a pleasant wine for any occasion.
