Domaine Laugner Vielles Vignes
This wine showcases exuberant, expressive Alsatian Pinot Blanc at its best. Aromatics include passionfruit, guava and mango, infused with a heady note of high-toned baking spice. The tropical fruit intensity continues in the mouth, where the wine has a succulent, almost thirst-quenching vitality. Big and mouthfilling for a white, it has a long and deeply concentrated finish.
