Great value, versatile and very drinkable Pinot Blanc. This classic French white has delicate aromatics with a ripe, fleshy palate and lovely balance, medium-bodied and as ever, brilliantly versatile.
Produced traditionally by winemaker Jean Michel Lihrmann. This Pinot Blanc is blended from 80% Pinot Blanc Auxerrois and 20% Pinot Blanc. The grapes are selected from vineyards with diverse soils - limestone, granite, gravel, marl and sandstone - which impart different characters and styles to the overall blend, and harvested by hand and machine, depending on site. Pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no fining and light filtration before bottling - all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance. Michel's enduring approach is to make wines with good acidity and fruit balance.
For any occasion when you want a dry white that is well-balanced and approachable - grilled fish, chicken, salads and quiches all work well too.
