Nose of pears and apples
Smooth, light, and dry on the palate
Classy, dry finish
This wine needs to be well chilled. When it is, there's a nice crispness to it. It's a cuvee reserve wine and cost me $14. I hadn't seen it before, but was keeping my eyes open for Pinot Blanc in this price range. There are some good offerings in the $10-15 price range from Alsace and I recommend this as good buy. Raise a glass!
I sell Schaetzel in Illinois to restaurants and retail shops, so I'm a bit biased, but if you are intrested, I have a history of the domain and the area along with extensive notes from conversations with winegrower Jean Schaetzel available at : www.candidwines.com/martinschaetzel.html.
