Pinot Blanc is an old mutation of the Pinot Family, and more precisely a decoloration of the Pinot Noir originally planted in many circumstances. In Bourgogne, its region of origin, Read More...
Pinot Blanc was grown along side of Chardonnay. Imported in Alsace since the 16th century, it was replaced by Chardonnay in Bourgogne when the AOC rules were established in 1937. Today, the great majority of Pinot Blanc grown in France is cultivated in Alsace, where it has become one of the most widely planted grape varieties.
With its beautiful yellow dress, fresh, supple and tender, Pinot Blanc is fruity (lemon and apple) and floral (iris and violet). Slightly mineral, it has a nice structure and a well-balanced freshness. The bouquet also releases delicate aromas of butter and nuts.

Sylvaner is something of a specialty at Boeckel, as the village of Mittlebergheim is the only in Alsace permitted to produce a Grand Cru from the varietal (the rare Zotzenberg). Read More...
This breathtaking value, half of whose fruit is sourced from Zotzenberg, beautifully demonstrates the potential of this often overlooked varietal when old vines are planted in the right kind of chalky soils. While delightful, rich flavors of Asian pear, spearmint, milled grain, and citrus zest inundate the palate with flavor, the wine stays beautifully balanced, elegant, and long and dry on the finish. An ideal partner for the traditional Thanksgiving fare, this would also complement a variety of Asian dishes.

Situated at the end of the valley of Munster, itself overlooking the town of Turckheim, the area enjoys remarkably long hours in the sun due to its south to south-easterly exposure. Read More...
In addition, it rises to an altitude of 345 m, further benefiting from the cooling breezes found at these higher altitudes. Its homogenous granite make up and excellent microclimate particularly favour the production of Riesling. Dry and crisp; this is a great food wine.

The Lorentz family has been making wine since 1836 in the heart of the Alsace, which lies in the northeast corner of France, along the Rhine River. The family now has 85 acres of vineyards Read More...
on the hills of Altenberg de Bergheim, in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. Alsace has historically been fought over by France and Germany. At the end of Word War I Germany ceded the region to France under the Treaty of Versailles. This is the one wine growing area in France which makes Riesling, Gewurztraminer and other Germanic varietals. They also grow Pinot Noir although the climate is cooler here than in Bourgogne. This dry rosé of Pinot Noir is smooth and broad, full-bodied in texture and delicate in flavor. It offers light spice and fresh mushroom scents; in the mouth it has revealing flavors of cherries, raspberries and blackberries leading to a dry finish. Serve this chilled (like a white wine) with appetizers, mild fish or seafood dishes and vegetarian entrées.

orange blossom, rowan, lemon and tangerine. Luscious honeydew melon fruit enlivened by juicy, invigorating citrus and tinged with lemon zest, ginger, and chalky mineral traces informs a silken-textured palate, leading to a strikingly honeyed and bright, bitterly zesty and overtly stony finish. This is an excellent candidate for at least 9-12 further years of aging. (The 2001 Jubilee, incidentally, is no finer in overall quality, and now overtly fusil, chalky, peachy, and truffle-scented, with an oily-rich palate and full-throttle finish.)"
