The Pinot Blanc Reserve is light yellow in color, with a fruity and pleasant nose of fresh peaches and white flowers. A mouth-watering and warm structure, which makes the wine very pleasant and easy drinking. Its acidity provides freshness and makes it a great Pinot Blanc with a wonderful fruit, very approachable.

The Tasting Panel (93 pts):

Linen and Meyer lemon surge with an assertive acidity. Clean, focused minerality and an exquisite, glassy mouthfeel.

Wine Enthusiast (92 Points):

Featured in their article: How to Pair Classic Vietnamese Foods with Wine. "While juicy apple aromas are present, this wine has a deliciously flinty nose that’s an unexpected delight from a Pinot Blanc. The palate also walks that line between soft orchard fruit, lime zest and flint, held together with tight acidity. Light bodied and palate cleansing, the wine packs a lot of salinity into a long finish. Complex without being overbearing, this wine would do well with a cheeseboard or salad course."

“The essence of our wines stems from the close relationship between grape variety, terroir and climate.” Those immortal words from Gustave Lorentz, the founder of this famed Alsatian estate, pervade every aspect of the winemaking and winegrowing process, and it has since its founding in 1836.

There have been seven generations of family tradition here, currently helmed by sixth generation Georges Lorentz, and with that kind of legacy comes innovation. Gustave Lorentz was among the first producers in Alsace to use stelvin closures and became certified organic by Ecocert in 2012.

Gustave Lorentz vineyards are nestled in the hills of Altenberg de Bergheim in the Vosges Mountains on 85 acres, with four being planted on the hills of Grand Cru Kanzlerberg and 30 in the Altenberg de Bergheim. Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Blanc varieties, all vinified separately, make up the majority of plantings of these exceptional vineyards, along with smatterings of other varieties.

The wines have been described as “gastronomic”, being a perfect partner to any kind of cuisine. One of the outstanding wines is the Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rosé, made of 100% Pinot Noir. Having been aged for nearly four years and made in the traditional method, its pleasing aroma and lively acidity demonstrate all that is great about Gustave Lorentz.
