EMILE BEYER PINOT BLANC 750mL

Once again Christian Beyer has demonstrated his ability to fashion exceptional Pinot Blanc. His latest release, the 2010 Emile Beyer Tradition Pinot Blanc, exudes charm, flavor, and an ethereal quality that just made us want to keep on drinking it. The aroma of mountain apples and pears, infused with the pleasant soft seductive hint of freshly baked bread sprinkled with spice, begins the love affair. It also sets the tone for the finely honed fruit flavors, pinpoint minerality, and blithe spirit that will ultimately grace the palate. Although always easy to drink and enjoy, Beyer’s Pinot Blanc is more than just a good quaff. It offers an intriguing note of subtle complexity, as it is ever-changing in the glass. Slowly, but persistently, it presents various facets and flavors in each sip. Initially, we suggest giving the 2010 Emile Beyer Tradition Pinot Blanc d’Alsace a moderate chill, but as this Pinot Blanc breathes and warms in the glass it tends to take on a broader, even more seductive tone than when it is icy cold. Consequently, we suggest giving Christian Beyer’s delicious Pinot Blanc a moderate chill (40° F), and then allowing it to unfold leisurely in the glass. Enjoy!
