Pinot Blanc 2023 - Bio'S

---

Fruity, supple and long. A pleasure and easy-drinking wine.

Appellation:

Alsace

Locality:

Various plots of land around Ribeauvillé: Straeng, Weinbaum, Vorderer Weinbaum....

Type of soil:

The Louis SIPP parcels of land are situated in the geological fracture zone of Ribeauvillé. They constitute a territory which is highly geologically fragmented. They are above all areas with hard chalk, clay and marl from the Liassic and Triassic periods, sandstone clay, and calcareous, chalky conglomerates from the Oligocene period. The area is also characterised by silt-laden deposits, originally loessial, and by glacis and sandy alluvium in the valley and on the plain. The vines of PINOT BLANC are generally located in areas of heavy and deep soil (Straeng), or in the parts of the vineyard which are late-fruiting.

Certified organic grapes for an enhanced terroir expression:

Started in 2005, our conversion to organic production took a concrete form three years later in 2008 with the ECOCERT certification. Since 2012, all the cellar operations are also covered by the European specification so that we can now speak about organic wines.

Wine character:

Beautiful pale yellow colour, with glints of green, a very expressive nose offering flavours of citrus fruits and a fine balance. Fruity and supple on the palate with a good balance. A wine of pleasure with interesting length which signs the organic farming approach.

Tips for consuming:

A very adaptable wine, which is an excellent complement to: cold meats, salads, shellfish, crustaceans, grilled fish, cured fish, quiches, pies, soufflés, white meats, poultry and asparagus.
To be consumed immediately in order to enjoy its fruity and delicately thirst-quenching character.

The 2023 vintage:

The vintage started rather warmly in May and June, offering ideal flowering conditions. But then, the cooler and rainier episodes of July and early August calmed things down and spread out the veraison. The return of hot and dry conditions at the end of August accelerated maturity. The exceptionally hot and dry conditions of the harvest left a strong impression on everyone this year. The harvest started in our area on September 11 for almost 5 weeks, they were only interrupted once by a very light rain..
