Alsatian Pinot Blanc: It’s intellectual in its restraint and precision, sleek and lithe in body, and Kuentz-Bas makes one of the world’s most famous renditions. Backed by fourteen generations of winemaking pedigree and aged in 19th-century barrels, this bottle serves light bodied, Old World elegance—and it’s an incredible steal.
Pale straw with a watery rim. The nose is vibrant and youthful, with crisp yellow apple, fresh lemon, wildflowers, and a crushed-stone mineral note while hints of mushroom and petrol add depth. The palate is classic: light bodied, slightly waxy in texture, with a gorgeous, rounded feel. Flavors of fresh pear, apple, and citrus appear first, followed by floral and earthy flourishes. This is a textbook Pinot Blanc that stands as a compelling argument for Pinot Grigio and Grüner Veltliner drinkers to branch out. Drink now–2028.
