Emeric's note

A slow Sunday lunch

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

The Mittnacht family has farmed in Hunawihr, one of the prettiest villages on the Alsace wine road, since 1963. They were among the first in Alsace to go biodynamic, and today there are sheep grazing between the rows.

André is their Pinot Blanc aged in oak barrels.

A great answer to anyone who thinks Pinot Blanc is boring.

Where it comes from

Alsace map

The place

Alsace

Sheltered in the rain-shadow of the Vosges, Alsace is dry, sunny and planted to a mosaic of thirteen soil types. Its wines are named by grape — Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat — and run from bone-dry to nobly sweet. One of France's densest concentrations of organic and biodynamic estates. ~15,500 ha.
