Unit price: per

Pinot Blanc is certainly the best all-rounder wine from the Alsace range. This wine presents with a pale lemon dress, a nose of crisp green apples, with an undertone of floral sweet white blossom. A long, refreshing finish that can be enjoyed on its own or making the perfect accompaniment.

Joseph Cattin

Situated in Voegtlinshoffen near Colmar, the Domaine Joseph Cattin has been making its own wines for nearly 300 years. This is a family-run estate, managed by brothers Jacques and Jean-Marie, with the help of Jacques’ son (Jacques Jnr). The family’s watchwords are elegance and authenticity, and they use traditional methods for winemaking alongside new equipment for best results.

Region and Appellation Information

Region – Alsace

Alsace is unique among the French wine regions due to its German influences, which play an equal role in sculpting the area's language, traditions - and even its wines. Many of its slopes face east, benefiting from plenty of sunlight, as well as a very special variety of 'terroir' made up of granite, limestone, clay, loam, and volcanic soils. Alsace shares the River Rhine with Germany as a common border. Its summers are hot and sunny, and it is the driest region in France after Roussillon in the south.

Appellation – Alsace AOC

The principal appellation of the Alsace region in north-eastern France, Alsace AOC covers the majority of its wine production. It is best known for aromatic white wines, chiefly Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, though Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, and the red Pinot Noir are also permitted. Unusually for France, the wines are typically labelled by grape variety rather than by place. Styles range from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, with a characteristic freshness and purity of fruit that reflects the region's sunny, dry climate and varied terroir.
