Some wines immediately ask the question, what delicacy would a chef pair with this? This Pinot Blanc did just that for me. Its floral, yellow apple, pear, and wax notes are supported by bright acidity making it both interesting and food friendly. Owner Marc Beyer follows a long family lineage of winemaking, and the Léon Beyer winery is one of the oldest Alsatian family-owned estates, founded in 1580. If you are into throwing dinner parties or picking interesting wines for a higher-end restaurant, don’t skip this wine. It will elevate most white-sauced dishes and could even be fun with a soup.
