2013 Pinot Blanc Barriques – Domaine de l’Oriel, Elegant White Wine

Domaine de l’Oriel Alsace Pinot Blanc 2013: Elegance Perfected

Discover why serving temperature transforms this exceptional Alsace Pinot Blanc. Unlike typical whites served too cold (around 38°F), this oak-aged gem reveals its true complexity at cellar temperature (55°F). Here, delicate aromas of camellia blossoms and white flowers mingle with subtle notes of caramel from barrique aging—a signature of Domaine de l’Oriel’s craftsmanship.

On the palate, experience a harmonious blend of lemon compote, crisp apples, and whispers of grapefruit and lychee. Medium-bodied with impeccable balance, its vibrant acidity carries through to a remarkably long finish—ideal for those seeking refined French white wines with depth.

Why This Wine Stands Out:
– Optimal Enjoyment: Engineered for 55°F serving to unlock layered aromatics competitors overlook
– Aged Sophistication: 2013 vintage maturity delivers nuanced caramel notes from careful oak integration
– Food Pairing Versatility: Bright acidity cuts through seafood or soft cheeses; structure complements poultry
– Terroir-Driven Character: Pure expression of Alsace’s mineral-rich vineyards

Alcohol: 13% | Serve slightly chilled (not ice-cold) to savor its evolving profile—perfect for collectors and enthusiasts exploring food-friendly white wines with aging potential.
