Maison Trimbach's Pinot Blanc Classic represents the quintessential introduction to the dry, precise, and structured style of Alsace. While labeled as Pinot Blanc, Alsatian wine tradition allows this bottling to be a harmonious blend of Pinot Blanc and its close relative, Auxerrois. Trimbach masterfully co-ferments these varieties, leveraging Auxerrois for its fleshy stone fruit flavors and roundness, while Pinot Blanc provides the driving, crisp acidity. Sourced from select limestone and clay-limestone vineyards around Ribeauvillé, the fruit is gently pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats. In keeping with the Trimbach family's strict winemaking philosophy, the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving its pristine fruit purity, mineral tension, and refreshing energy. This classic cuvée has long been a staple of Alsatian brasseries, revered for its effortless charm and gastronomic versatility.
