| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | A mutation of Pinot Gris, and thus of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Blanc is most often associated with Alsace in France, although its origins are Burgundian. Today, little remains of it in Burgundy. But the north Georgia mountains lay claim to some. This example is a medium-bodied white wine with a pale straw color. True to the grape type, the aromas are not intense or immediate, but subtle tones of pear and white melon make their way through the Pinot Blanc cloud. On the palate, flavors--still pear and white melon-- are elegant and refined, while the texture is silky and round. A slight note of the taste (not the sweetness) of honey finds its way into the sensations. Serve at 50-55ºF/10-13ºC. Foods: mild fish and white meat dishes with cream; chicken thighs braised on a bed of caramelized onions, with mashed potatoes mild, creamy cheeses.
