Tasting Notes
Aromatic and captivating, the nose opens with the crisp allure of white fruits like golden apple and pear, alongside zesty citrus highlights of lemon. Subtle floral nuances intertwine with vegetal notes of lemongrass and a fine smoky undertone, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. On the palate, it offers a sleek and lively attack, marked by a refreshing minerality and a touch of effervescence. The citrus and floral notes carry through, enriched by hints of hops and a delicate bitterness that adds depth. The finish lingers gracefully, defined by its invigorating tension and refined aromatic persistence. Delight in pairing this Pinot Blanc with vibrant dishes such as a pea and carrot salad, grilled herring with lemon, or traditional Basque-style pibales. For a cheese option, a tangy goat’s milk cheese like Bouton de Culotte complements its crisp and aromatic profile beautifully.
