2023 Domaine Schoffit Pinot Blanc Auxerrois Vieilles Vignes

From 45-70+ year old vines, this is delicious drinking from Alsace. The soft, honeyed apple and stone fruit is delicious but restrained, so what can shine through is the beautiful texture and layers of mineral and spicy/herbal notes. Schoffit's cuvee includes the rare Auxerrois variety that traditionally shared the same name as Pinot Blanc in Alsace.
