RVF

“The Les Lutins Pinot Blanc stands out for its rounded profile with notes of acacia honey.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - RVF) Just like the elves from folk legends, this wine is cheerful, pleasant, and good-natured. It brings pleasure and a zest for life.

Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

The attack is well-rounded, but the lack of malolactic fermentation, combined with the fact that it won't be released for over a year, means the flavors will blend together; the fruitiness is rich and indulgent—a Pinot Blanc perfect for creamy sauces.

About the estate:

Céline and Isabelle Meyer manage the estate—long led by their father Jean—with courage and discipline. The biodynamic approach shines through in their wines, which are light and refined on the palate, fresh and well-defined. The estate’s two flagship grands crus are the Hengst and the Brand, where the Riesling truly shines. The Pinot Gris is part of a long tradition of dry wines—a style that, unfortunately, is not all that common in Alsace.
