2017 Paul Blanck Pinot Blanc d’Alsace
Paul Blanck
This wine sits in a range the Blancks call "Les Classiques". These are easy, accessible wines made from the traditional Alsatian grape varieties. They are fruit-driven, aromatic, dry wines that give the best of themselves within the first five to seven years, if you wish to retain their primary fruit-driven personality. The screw cap closure enhances this profile and helps the wines keep both freshness and liveliness far longer. They generally come from light soils with sand and gravel as well as sandstone or clay.
Fruit for the Blanck Pinot Blanc d’Alsace was sourced from gravel, sand and south-facing clay and limestone vineyards. It was gently whole-bunch pressed before spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel.

Nice drink here though you’d use the word ‘diffuse’ in conversations about it. Light savoury nuttiness over green herb and quince/ripe lemon scents and flavours, delicate in the palate with its fine, crisp edges though flavours wash out a touch too. It’s a nice drink despite the quibbles.
