“Les Princes Abbès” Pinot Blanc

TASTING NOTES

The robe is light lemon yellow with green reflections of medium intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth.
The nose is marked, pleasant and of good intensity. We perceive a dominant of distinguished scents, white fruits, GOlden apple, white flowers and hop. The airing enhances the previous scents and reveals sake, water-rich fruit (watermelon, melon) and a light and elegant smokiness. The beautiful maturity of the grapes is exemplary and provides a very precise varietal profile.
The onset in the mouth is moderately ample tender. The alcohol support is full-bodied. The wine evolves on a medium with a frank vivacity, marked by a sparkling note. We find the same aromas as on the nose, dominated by white fruits (Golden apple), water-rich fruits (melon, watermelon) but also hop, white flowers and a light smokiness. We perceive a hint of firm and savoury bitterness. The finish has a good length, 6-7 caudalies, a frank liveliness and a light persistent bitterness. The balance of this wine focuses on freshness and is marked by the vintage. The distinguished range of flavors gives it charm. A real success !

PAIRING

This wine will go perfectly with Alsatian traditional cuisine : a saveloy salad from the Haut-Doubs region, a grilled Mont d’Or cheese, or vegetable papillotes with processed cheese. And, of course, with a pressed cooked cheese such as the Abondance.
