WINE DESCRIPTION
Leon Beyer Pinot Blanc is a refreshing and elegant white wine produced by the renowned Leon Beyer winery in the Alsace region of France. The grapes are sourced from the estate's own vineyards, which are located on the slopes of the Vosges Mountains and benefit from the dry and sunny climate created by the rain shadow. The winemaking process involves a long pressing, to allow for some maceration, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a crisp and vibrant wine with delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits. The wine is characterized by its bright acidity and subtle minerality, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, salads, and light dishes. Overall, Leon Beyer's Pinot Blanc is a classic example of the high-quality and varietal-driven wines that Alsace is famous for.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Pinot Blanc is a lesser-known grape variety.This sometimes results in it being drunk less frequently. The Leon Beyer Pinot Blanc is a reminder not to miss out on what often ofter charming short-term drinking. Pale lemon in color, with a nose of apple and mirabelle plum. The palate is light-bodied with lean acidity and a juicy generosity of Mirabelle fruit. The finish is modest but subtly chalky. Drink as a refreshment or serve with soft, washed rind or white mold cheeses. Drink within 5 years.
