Discover the best wines made with Pinot blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Haspengouwse Wijn.
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.
Flemish AOC of Hesbaye (south-east Flanders, Belgium), sandy-limestone soils (Belgium's "Côte d'Or"), cool temperate climate — ~45% of Flemish sparkling production. Chardonnay is the signature white: dry and taut with green apple, citrus, white flowers, butter and a chalky mineral note, lively acidity — a northern Burgundian style. Spiced Pinot Gris and full Pinot Blanc among the whites. Fine Pinot Noir as red.
