Cuvée Réserve

2008 Alsace Pinot Blanc

The Martin Schaetzel Cuvée Réserve, a charming example of Pinot Blanc from the renowned Alsace region, captivates with its elegant and refreshing profile. This full-bodied white wine showcases vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, providing a lively counterpart to the prominent fruit intensity. Aromas of crisp green apple, ripe peach, and subtle floral undertones tantalize the senses, while hints of minerality add depth. The wine's mouthwatering character invites further exploration, demonstrating balance and finesse. It is bone-dry, allowing the complexity of flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness, making it an exceptional choice for various pairings, from seafood to light poultry dishes. Whether enjoyed on its own or alongside a meal, this vintage truly embodies the essence of Alsatian winemaking excellence.

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.
