L'ami des Crustacés Pinot Blanc
Tasting Notes
The L’ami des Crustacés Pinot Blanc is light yellow in color, with a delicate nose of pear, green apple, citrus and white florals. There is great freshness on the palate with lively, well-integrated acidity. Overall, this wine is light and approachable with good expression of fruit.
Vineyards
The grapes come from various hillside vineyards around the village of Bergheim, with a predominance of heavy clay/limestone soil.
Winemaking
They are hand-picked, usually around the beginning of October, with the whole grapes pressed. The pressed juice is separated from the free-run juice and undergoes 12-to-24 hours of “debourbage” or settling, to eliminate impurities, which are then filtered out. Fermentation takes place, using a combination of natural and selected yeasts, in stainless steel vats. The wine goes through two rackings, the first to separate the lees from the wine and the second to clarify the wine. It sits in tanks for five months, with the potential to age for approximately five years.
