Discover the best wines made with Pinot blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Freiburg.
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.
Southern Baden at the foot of the Black Forest, among Germany's warmest climates, sheltered by the Vosges. Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is the signature red: fleshy and silky with notes of black cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, and a volcanic smoky touch from the Kaiserstuhl, fine tannins. Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) is full and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) is taut as whites with notes of pear, almond, and a honeyed touch. Refreshing and thirst-quenching Gutedel (Chasselas) from Markgräflerland.
