✨ Technical Specifications
The Tradition Pinot Blanc from Cave du Vieil-Armand is a classic expression of Alsace's southern gateway. Grown on the sunny slopes near the historic Hartmannswillerkopf battlefield—known locally as Vieil-Armand—this wine benefits from a unique microclimate and diverse soils of silt, clay, and sand. In Alsace, Pinot Blanc is celebrated for its friendly, approachable character. The winemakers at this historic cooperative employ gentle pneumatic pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the grape's delicate orchard fruit aromas and fresh, clean profile. This cuvée captures the easygoing elegance of the region, balancing a soft, round mouthfeel with a refreshing finish.
