Pinot Blanc 2022 - Bio'S

---

Fruity, supple and long. A pleasure and easy-drinking wine.

Appellation:

Alsace

Locality:

Various plots of land around Ribeauvillé: Straeng, Weinbaum, Vorderer Weinbaum....

Type of soil:

The Louis SIPP parcels of land are situated in the geological fracture zone of Ribeauvillé. They constitute a territory which is highly geologically fragmented. They are above all areas with hard chalk, clay and marl from the Liassic and Triassic periods, sandstone clay, and calcareous, chalky conglomerates from the Oligocene period. The area is also characterised by silt-laden deposits, originally loessial, and by glacis and sandy alluvium in the valley and on the plain. The vines of PINOT BLANC are generally located in areas of heavy and deep soil (Straeng), or in the parts of the vineyard which are late-fruiting.

Certified organic grapes for an enhanced terroir expression:

Started in 2005, our conversion to organic production took a concrete form three years later in 2008 with the ECOCERT certification. Since 2012, all the cellar operations are also covered by the European specification so that we can now speak about organic wines.

Wine character:

Beautiful pale yellow colour, with glints of green, a very expressive nose offering flavours of citrus fruits and a fine balance. Fruity and supple on the palate with a good balance. A wine of pleasure with interesting length which signs the organic farming approach.

Tips for consuming:

A very adaptable wine, which is an excellent complement to: cold meats, salads, shellfish, crustaceans, grilled fish, cured fish, quiches, pies, soufflés, white meats, poultry and asparagus.
To be consumed immediately in order to enjoy its fruity and delicately thirst-quenching character.

The 2022 vintage:

The 2022 vintage
The start of 2022 is marked by heat and drought. The development of the vines starts early, but with notable water stress for the plots with filtering soils. Fortunately, our vineyards, 85% of which are on the hillsides, are less impacted by these particular conditions. The months of May and June see unusual temperature peaks. The storms at the end of June finally allowed some water to return to the vines to begin the veraison period and then the maturation of the grapes in good conditions. This leads to early harvests which start in our vineyards on September 6. Yields are slightly down due to high temperatures and drought having affected flowering but also berry growth.
