Yura Pinot Blanc L'Abeille et Le Papillon

Næse: mineralsk næse med parfumeret citron, men ikke sådan meget tydelig i næses. En smule fad/struktur i næsen og lidt moden abrikos. Smag: syredrevet med citron, og abrikosen igen. Fornemmer lidt sur Lie måske. Bred i strukturen syren er nok med/høj. Men også lidt blød i udtrykket

Lots of lemon zest and acidity but a stark contrast to the type of acidity you would get in a Chardonnay. A very tasty wine and curious to see how this will age! Edit: followed up on the second day and the acidity went a little bit overboard for our preferences, almost to a singular point.

Very clean, mineral, elegant white / green fruit and flowers, good acidity, only went to Pinot Blanc because it wasn't Riesling and also didn't feel like Aligote or Chardonnay. Great to have tasted this.

Very pretty nose that really became alive with some air. Lots of fruit, lemon juice, white flowers, minerals, and floral notes. High acidity with more lemon and citrus flavors, as well as crushed rocks on the palate. Nice finish. A really lovely, beautiful and high toned wine. It's quite primary now, but drinks well; still, I wonder how this will age. 93+

Avalon restaurant (and Oocker) (Amsterdam, NL) : Very clean and linear, almost nothing that would point to Alsace or Pinot Blanc. Blind I might have gone to Mosel riesling because of the high energetic acidity. Herbs, lemon, lime, floral, long. This is how I like Pinot Blanc! Would love to revisit this with a bit more age, but with only 1800 bottles produced not very likely I’ll see it anytime soon again. 33% new demi-muid, 33% 1 year old demi-muid …

A private dinner (Wine Bar Oocker, Amsterdam, NL) : Wonderfully crisp and bright and fresh, Riesling-like acidity and floral notes, delicately waxy, energetic and clean as a whistle, feels quite Germanic, generous apple and spicy yellow stone fruit reminds us that this is a Pinot Blanc, lovely balance and a jewelly texture, very good length. There is real elegance here.
