- TASTING NOTE: "The 2022 Pinot Blanc Auxerrois Vieilles Vignes is made from vines that are between 60 and 75 years old, harvested in Colmar. Despite the name, this is pure Auxerrois. And since this is pure Auxerrois, it is allowed to carry this designation on the label. White currant juiciness is mild but gently fruited on the nose, opening into clear Mirabelle juice and smooth, cool yeast and textured, round, mild and bone dry body with a nutty and pithy, subtle finish with much smoothness and serenity. (Bone-Dry)" 90 Points - Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: From a blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois vines averaging 50-70 yo on gravelly soil covered by loess in the Harth vineyard. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel for 11 months before bottling in August of the following year. Made from yields of around 50 hl/ha this wine has striking purity, medium body and excellent length.
