Cuvee Balthazar

2010 Alsace Pinot Blanc

The Lucien Albrecht Cuvee Balthazar is a stunning expression of Pinot Blanc from the esteemed Alsace region. This vintage showcases a beautifully pale white color, hinting at its elegant character. On the nose, it captivates with its delightful aromas of fresh stone fruit, including ripe peaches and juicy apricots, intertwined with subtle floral undertones. The palate reveals a medium-bodied structure, balancing a refreshing acidity that dances on the tongue and enhances its vibrant fruitiness. With soft, well-integrated tannins and an off-dry finish, this wine is exceptionally versatile, making it a perfect companion for a wide array of dishes, from seafood to lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Enjoy the lingering notes of this exceptional wine as it transports you to the picturesque vineyards of Alsace.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
