Description
A blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois forms the Marc Kreydenweiss estate’s 2023 Kritt cuvée from Alsace. The wine expresses itself freely with notes of apple blossom, pear and citrus, and a wonderfully fresh structure. On the palate, it is explosive, dense and juicy with a salty finish. A dry, mineral wine that pairs well with tarte flambée, sauerkraut, warm asparagus, and even strawberry sorbet. Give it a try!
