Characteristics and tasting notes for Pinot Blanc 2022 Maison Trimbach

Tasting notes

Color
The color reveals a delicate pale yellow hue, enhanced by subtle green highlights.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet opens with concentrated notes of white flowers and apricot, complemented by touches of ripe pear and yellow apple. Subtle nuances of honeysuckle, almond, and Emmental cheese enrich the whole, underscored by a lovely chalky minerality and a hint of fresh lemon.

Palate
With a medium body and a particularly smooth texture, the palate seduces with its remarkable balance. It unfolds citrus and pear flavors, carried by a lively, refreshing acidity. The long, dynamic finish offers a striking contrast between the minerality of the terroir and the brightness of the fresh fruit.

Food and wine pairing

This white wine pairs wonderfully with seafood, oysters, or light fish such as grilled trout. It also goes very well with cold poultry, composed salads, light fried dishes such as tempura, as well as fresh cheeses. However, it is not recommended to pair it with red meats or highly spiced dishes.

The vivacity and balance of a white wine from Alsace by Maison Trimbach

The estate

Founded in 1626, Maison Trimbach is a true institution located in Ribeauvillé, at the heart of Alsace. With four centuries of history behind it, this family-run estate is today led by the twelfth and thirteenth generations. Following the tragic passing of Pierre Trimbach in 2026, his nephew Julien has taken over technical direction, supported by Jean, Anne, Frédérique, and Pauline. Renowned for its dry, precise wines tailored for fine dining, the estate was crowned "Brand of the Year" in 2025. An essential reference that continues a tradition of excellence.

The vineyard

The estate's vineyard extends across the sub-Vosgian foothills in Alsace, benefiting from a semi-continental climate ideally protected from rainfall. The vines, averaging 45 years of age, thrive on a complex geological mosaic combining limestone, marl, and sandstone. Committed to a strong environmental approach, the estate has been certified organic since 2023. Biodiversity is encouraged through tree planting, the installation of birdhouses, and winter eco-grazing by sheep.

Winemaking and aging

For this Pinot Blanc 2022, the grapes undergo a gentle pneumatic pressing. The juices are then vinified to become perfectly dry, in stainless steel and concrete tanks under controlled temperatures. To preserve the brightness of the fruit and the wine's natural vivacity, no malolactic fermentation is carried out.
