2019 Trimbach Pinot Blanc Alsace

If you’re still drinking Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, know that the cool cats are drinking this. Pinot Grigio derives its genetics from Pinot Blanc. This is this OG and Trimbach is one of the best producers of this grape in the world.

Trimbach is one of the Top Alsace producers. They produce the highest-quality premium Riesling and Gewurztraminer wines, which constantly achieve great accolades. If you want to discover the true power and aging capacity of a high-quality Gewurztraminer, Maison Trimbach should be at the top of your list. This Maison is crafting some of the most exceptional white wines in the world.

Wine Spectator said, “In Alsace, although most wines tend to be dry and fuller-bodied than their German counterparts, Trimbach's house style is quite the opposite: graceful and intense, with an austere character.” 

This Maison has been around since the 16^th century when the Trimbach family arrived from Switzerland. Twelve generations of disruptive winemakers have impregned their expertise into Trimbach. Today, Pierre Trimbach, an enologist who graduated from Beaune, is leading this world-renowned estate.

Trimbach’s location couldn’t be more perfect. Its semi-continental weather brings extreme temperatures, with very cold winters, which are optimal for high-quality Riesling to thrive. The soil is composed of marl-limestone-sandstone and shell limestone (Muschelkalk), which gives Trimbach's wines a remarkable personality. 

The 140-acre vineyard is planted with vines of 45 years of age on average. They’re distributed in some of the best terroirs in Alsace: Ribeauvillé, Bergheim y Hunawihr. Each of them provides different and exciting characteristics to the wines.

​Trimbach’s vineyards are managed under sustainable practices and certified by the HVE3. For more than 10 years, they’ve been doing fully organic viticulture.

If you enjoy bright, acidic, and aromatic whites like Pinot Grigio or occasionally sip on Sauvignon Blanc, it's time to give Pinot Blanc a try. It's wonderfully refreshing, effortlessly approachable, and often overlooked simply because it’s not as widely known or available as its more famous counterparts.

70% Auxerrois and 30% Pinot Blanc. Maturing early, this is dry, well-balanced, supple and refreshing. Pinot Blanc is ideal for serving as an aperitif, at formal dinners, receptions or light meals. Pinot Blanc is best served with shellfish, cold meats, tartes flambées, pies and other light appetizers.

Where is the salad and the charcuterie? Right from the fresh pear and apple nose, through to the clean and elegant finish, this refreshing, medium-bodied Alsace dry white is spot on! A blend of 70% auxerrois and 30% pinot blanc, a classic combination for the region. Drink now. Screw cap. ~ 91 James Suckling

Bottled in December 2020, Trimbach's 2019 Pinot Blanc shows a clear, fresh and finely smoky aroma of ripe apples and pears. The wine is round and juicy as well as savory on the pretty potent palate, and it reveals stimulating saline acidity. Very good indeed. ~90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
