Pinot Bianco 'Apogee' Vignoble Des 2 Lunes 2022

The ‘Apogee’ from Vignoble Des 2 Lunes is an Alsatian Pinot Blanc with a pale straw yellow colour. Elegant and harmonious, it is a white wine that needs a little time in the glass to show itself at its best, acquiring greater richness of aromas and flavours. Toasted bread, white flowers, orange peel, honey and exotic hints emerge, accompanied by a creamy texture and a characteristic roundness. Apogee' can be lightened up with coriander-spiced oriental food or, alternatively, with classic delicate fish accompanied by seasonal vegetables.

PINOT BIANCO 'APOGEE' VIGNOBLE DES 2 LUNES 2022 DESCRIPTION

The biodynamic Alsace winery Vignoble des 2 Lunes introduces the Pinot Blanc ‘Apogee’, a label appreciated for its fragrant and refined aromas. The connection between Alsace and Pinot Blanc is quite deep, as the region has become a sort of "second home" for this variety, likely originating from Burgundy, where it emerged from a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir. Today, Pinot Blanc represents the fifth most cultivated grape in Alsace, although it remains far behind the three dominant white grape varieties in the region: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. However, more and more producers are focusing on this variety, which has undeniably interesting organoleptic properties.

The Pinot Blanc Vignoble des 2 Lunes ‘Apogee’ is a 100% Pinot Blanc from vines cultivated according to organic and biodynamic principles, both certified. The harvest is strictly done by hand, with careful selection of the bunches, which are then subjected to gentle pressing. This is followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks, and then aging for several months in oak barrels before final bottling. The wine is then released only after further adequate aging in the bottle.

The Pinot Blanc ‘Apogee’ from Vignoble des 2 Lunes has a light, bright straw-yellow color. Its aromatic bouquet is intriguing, featuring scents of apple, ripe pear, ginger, honey, orange peel, white flowers, freshly mown grass, and toasted bread, all supported by a refined mineral note. On the palate, it is dry and elegant, with a round body perfectly balanced by a lively fresh-salty zest, resulting in a persistent and harmonious progression.

When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied white wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
