Pinot Blanc - 2020 et 2021 - Jean Dietrich

A blend of two varieties of Pinot Blanc with a little Auxerrois, from vines around 40 years old, the Pinot Blanc is planted on gravel sands in Scherwiller and the Auxerrois on granite soils in the neighboring town of Dambach-la-Ville. The vineyard is grown biodynamically and harvested by hand. Direct pressing, vinification and aging in very old casks, blending of the two vintages just before bottling in Spring 2022, with just a micro-dose of sulphur.
