A flavourful vintage with excellent fruit character, brimming with a bright, tight mid- palate and strong legs, its apple and vanilla flavours will develop with maturation – ageing is expected to be beneficial to this vintage. A wine that is both accessible, and very classy.
This blend accounted for a small bottling of only 8 508 bottles. The traditional presence of aromatic cultivars such as Riesling and Gewürztraminer remain a notable part of this wine, the important difference is that, for the first time, Chardonnay becomes the dominant varietal.
A favourite with seafood, particularly oysters. The flavourful aspects lend itself well to Thai style cuisine too. Alternatively, just enjoy a glass of Blanc de Mer without any accompaniment!
