LIGHT & REFRESHING. Fresh aromas of lemon, wet stone,
fresh cut flowers & mossy undergrowth foreshadow elegant citrus, apple
& melon flavors, with floral hints of peach. Fresh & crisp, with
exuberant bubbles & a lively finish.
Pinot Blanc & Pinot Auxerrois
Jean Schaetzel is obsessed with quality. A man driven to
make pure, clean, balanced wines that are correct and express a sense of place,
he is not interested in making giant wines in the style of some of his neighbors.
Instead, he favors elegant, understated wines with subtlety & finesse; his
wines are considered among the best of Alsace. Located in the town of
Ammerschwihr, Domaine Martin Schaetzel has been producing wines since 1803. In
1979 Jean & Bea Schaetzel took over the estate from Jean?s uncle Martin.
Jean handles the wine-growing & wine-making end of things, while Bea
directs administration. This 13 hectare Alsatian Domaine is farmed
biodynamically. |
