Limpid pale yellow in the glass, the 2016 Dopff & Irion Cuvée Réne Dopff Pinot Blanc is awash with spritely notes of d’Anjou pear, freshly cut yellow apple, white peach, blanched almond, and spring blossoms. Round on the palate, with body and autolytic mid-tones from four months aging on the lees—subtle minerality, white pepper, and white grapefruit pith emerges on a long and lingering finish. 12.5% ABV | Sample

Smells clean cut in all sense. Chateau wines apparently mean the home parcel. But they don’t buy anything anyway? This is confusing. Some weight on the palate. The finish is t long but true to Pinot blanc.

Balanced and light; lively lemon laden fresh; supportive acidity; sweet balanced acidity.

Light with some light spritz and semi-sweet with lanolin and silk; rather round with some supportive acidity.

Unusually expressive Pinot Blanc with floral and melon characteristics. Acidic spine keeps the profile upright. CBD with liver mousse app,
