Alsace is a great source for fine and affordable Pinot Blanc. Also known as Pinot Bianco in Italy and Weissburgunder in Germany, Pinot Blanc is be a delightful, easy-to-drink white wine. The Biecher family has grown grapes around the village of St. Hippolyte for over two centuries. Their long experience, combined with modern winemaking equipment and techniques yields wines like this delicious Pinot Blanc. This is an elegant and dry rendition of the grape. The bouquet is forward with lemon, pear and yellow plum fruit scents interwoven with floral and spice tones. The layers of ripe pear, citrus and plum fruit flavors unfold across the palate followed by subtle spices and a clean, dry finish.
