WINE DESCRIPTION
Pinot Blanc, often referred to alongside the Auxerrois varietal as simply "Pinot," is the white mutation of Pinot Noir. Distinctly recognized as separate from Chardonnay at the Chalons congress in 1896, its identity as Pinot Noir’s white counterpart was first pinpointed by Pulliat in Chassagne-Montrachet in 1895, and confirmed by Durand in Nuits-Saint-Georges a year later. Not to be confused with "Klevner" or the Klevener of Heiligenstein, which is related to the Savagnin Rose grape, Pinot Blanc is a key component in the production of base wines for Crémant d'Alsace, showcasing its versatility and significance in winemaking.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Aromas of honey blossom and ripe pear fill the nose of this Jean Biecher Pinot Blanc.On the palate, this crisp and refreshing white wine is full of juicy green apple and citrus flavors, with a hint of minerality and a vibrant acidity. The finish is long and zesty, with subtle hints of honey and spice. Enjoy this versatile white wine as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to fresh seafood.
