Colette Bonnet — Pinot Blanc Millésime 2018

Pinot Blanc Millésime 2018

Sometimes a bottle starts telling its story before you even open it.

That's exactly what happened with the Pinot Blanc Millésime 2018: When unboxing, a completely unlabeled bottle appeared – with included info, but it felt a bit like "straight from the winery."

I found it pretty charming – so I wrote to Colette.

Her response: a misunderstanding – and shortly after, a small envelope was in my mailbox, with the labels to stick on myself.

Now officially labeled – and opened.

So already a bottle that will definitely stick in my memory.

A pure Pinot Blanc, vintage 2018, organically grown, vinified with care. In the glass calm, creamy, with aromas of pear, almond, flower honey and a hint of wax. Pleasant, well-balanced acidity – definitely a wine where you can taste the handcraft and love for the product.

I tried it at home – which was perfect. Some room to unfold, but still clear enough to maintain the fine tension.

Tasting Notes

A calm, creamy champagne with aromas of pear, almond, flower honey and a hint of wax. Well-balanced acidity, where you can taste the handcraft and love for the product.
