Pinot Blanc
2020
L’équipe formée du père et du fils, Léonard et Olivier Humbrecht, assure l’exploitation de Zind- Humbrecht, l’un des plus grands domaines d’Alsace, qui a été fondé en 1959, après le mariage de Léonard Humbrecht et de Geneviève Zind. Léonard Humbrecht s’est taillé une place de choix au sein du monde du vin, en produisant d’année en année des vins tout à fait splendides, issus de plusieurs vignobles situés aux quatre coins de l’Alsace. Leur fils, Olivier, n’est pas...
Pronounced aromas of salinity, petrol and toasted oak rise up out of the glass. This wine offers a rich, dense texture accented by fresh apple notes and a slightly petrol finish. This is a wine of intensity and body, although it does carry a bit of alcohol heat on the finish. Pair it with mild pasta dishes, fish or cheese, though, and you won't even notice.

Straw-yellow. Lovely fresh aromas and flavors of apple and pear, complicated by hints of white flowers and spicy honey. Finishes long and penetrating. Fresh, lovely and very Pinot Blanc-dominated in its aroma and taste profile, despite only 35% Pinot Blanc in the blend (the balance is made up by 65% Auxerrois).

Bright pale straw. Perfumed aromas of apple, orange peel and sweet herbs, plus a suggestion of dried fruits. Bright and broad but light on its feet; offers a classic combination of volume and spice (the Auxerrois) and appley-mineral lift (the Pinot Blanc). Lively acidity supports and extends the finishing flavors of fruit and herbs. Roughly 66 percent Auxerrois (from the Rotenberg site) and Pinot Blanc (all from the Herrenweg). Lower-than-usual yields in 2015 (and as at Zind-Humbrecht, they are not exactly known for producing grapes hand over fist, which means volumes were really very low) due to poor flowering because of the difficult spring weather, leading to berry shatter and millerandage. Lovely, appley Pinot Blanc.

A generous dry pinot blanc with aromas of fully ripe pear and pineapple. Rich and creamy palate, with elegant acidity and melted-butter character at the long, soft finish. From the alluvial Herrenweg site of Turckheim and from vineyards with limestone soils in Wintzenheim. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Aromatic, with notes of graphite, mineral and spice, this bright, well-cut white marries vibrant acidity to focused flavors of peach skin, passion fruit and candied pink grapefruit zest. Features a lip-smacking, spiced finish.
