Round, supple whites with a soft palate, showing discreet aromas of apple, pear, fresh almond, white flowers and brioche notes. Moderate acidity, light finish. Star of Crémant d'Alsace (fine, taut sparkling) and base of Edelzwicker. Grown in Germany (Weissburgunder, Baden-Württemberg), northern Italy (Pinot Bianco, Alto Adige), Austria and Luxembourg. A white mutation of Pinot Noir.
Belgium's first AOC (1997) in Flemish Brabant near Leuven, Hageland vineyards on iron-rich clay-limestone "roodzanden" soils, temperate oceanic climate. Auxerrois and Chardonnay as signature whites: lively and aromatic with green apple, citrus, white flowers and mineral hints, refreshing tense acidity. Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus and Ortega for floral whites. Light Pinot Noir and Dornfelder in reds.
