Suckling over Pinot Blanc "from limestone marl" 2022
Effusively fresh nose of crisp apple and pear with notes of snow peas and fine green beans. For a grape that can be so fruit-forward this has a lovely delicacy and subtlety in spite of the abundant freshness. Excellent balance on the bone dry palate that reveals a restrained creaminess after some aeration in the glass. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor

Pinot Blanc "from limestone marl" 2022
This Pinot Blanc from limestone marl shines a pale gold with green hues and highlights. Roasted nuts, dried passion fruit, apricot, ripe apples, mango, raisins, and overripe banana dominate the nose, permeated by a delicate yeast brioche aroma. The palate is juicy and winey, with a variety of citrus aromas, hay notes, caramel, and a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is fiery, mineral, and profound.
Origin
This mineral-rich Pinot Blanc grows on limestone marl soil—a soil with a high lime content and good water retention capacity. The vines are over 25 years old.
Expansion
A small portion of this wine was aged in wooden barrels.
