Domaine Allimant-Laugner Pinot Blanc 2020

Producer – Domaine Allimant-Laugner

Domaine Allimant-Laugner is based in Orschwiller, Alsace, where the family produces a broad range of still wines and Crémant d’Alsace. The estate works with the classic grapes of the region and also produces wines from the Grand Cru Praelatenberg.

Today, the domaine’s Pinot Blanc follows a fresh and dry style. The producer describes it as a blend that brings together the freshness of Pinot Blanc and the fruit of Auxerrois.

Pinot Blanc 2020 – Fresh and Easy-Drinking Alsace White

The Domaine Allimant-Laugner Pinot Blanc 2020 is a dry white wine from Alsace. It offers a fresh and balanced style, making it an excellent choice for both an aperitif and the dining table.

Moreover, the combination of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois gives the wine both freshness and fruit. As a result, the palate feels lively yet pleasantly rounded. The producer’s current Pinot Blanc shows apple notes followed by a fresh finish with hints of mirabelle plum.

Grape Varieties

• Pinot Blanc
• Auxerrois

The producer’s current release uses 50% Pinot Blanc and 50% Auxerrois. However, because I could not find the archived 2020 technical sheet, I would avoid putting the exact percentages on the 2020 product page unless you have its original sheet.

Maturation

The producer does not currently publish the archived maturation details for the 2020 vintage. Therefore, I would not claim oak, concrete or a specific ageing period without the original technical sheet.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Pale straw yellow with bright reflections
• Aroma: Fresh apple, pear, white flowers and delicate stone fruit
• Palate: Dry and lively with fresh orchard fruit and a gentle rounded texture
• Finish: Clean and refreshing with hints of mirabelle plum

Food Pairings

The Pinot Blanc 2020 works particularly well with salads, quiche, omelettes, cold veal, fresh cheeses and light dishes. In addition, its fresh style makes it an excellent aperitif. These pairings follow the producer’s recommendations for its Pinot Blanc.

Style and Character

The Domaine Allimant-Laugner Pinot Blanc 2020 offers the approachable and fresh character that makes Alsace Pinot Blanc so versatile. Moreover, the addition of Auxerrois gives the wine a softer fruit profile and a slightly rounder feel.

Overall, this is a fresh, dry and food-friendly Alsace white. Therefore, it is a great choice for anyone looking for an easy-drinking wine that still offers plenty of regional character.
