Discover the best wines made with Pinot blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Bonvillars.
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.
AOC of northern Vaud (Switzerland, ~190 ha), south-facing slopes over Lake Neuchâtel, calcareous soils, temperate climate. Chasselas is the signature white king: fine and mineral with citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a chalky touch, taut palate with discreet perlant, thirst-quenching. Airy spiced Pinot Noir as elegant red. Gamaret and Garanoir as complements.
