A Minima blanc 2022

Wine description for A Minima blanc 2022 by Trapet Alsace

Colour & Appearance

Luminous straw yellow with golden reflections – a wine that already reveals its sunny origins in the glass.

Nose

Captivating and aromatic, without being heavy. The notes of Muscat and Gewürztraminer dominate with roses, nutmeg notes, linden blossom and anise. Behind these shimmer grapefruit with pith, ripe apples and honeydew melon. The fascinating aspect: despite this aromatic abundance, the wine remains remarkably fresh and airy.

Palate

A great seducer with fantastic freshness and ripe, yet never intrusive acidity. The vibrant minerality carries the wine, whilst a fine tannin structure and pronounced salinity provide tension and make the mouth water immediately. The aromatic fruit is trumped in the finish by a deep spiciness – a wine that is fun to drink and invites you to take the next sip.

Finish

Spicy, saline and persistently mineral with an echo of floral aromas.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the Rosembourg terroir, where very old vines are rooted. They are complemented by parcels from the Grand Cru Schoenenbourg – vineyard sites that give the wine its characteristic minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

An unusual, exciting blend of six grape varieties: Silvaner, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Muscat and Riesling. The musts were fermented without SO₂ addition – a minimalist intervention vinification that corresponds to the Trapets‘ biodynamic approach. Only minimal free SO₂ was added at bottling.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Classically Alsatian with flammekuchen, winegrower’s salad or Râpés with Bibeleskäs. But also an excellent choice with grilled fish, goat’s cheese or Asian dishes with coriander and ginger.

Special Features

The white A Minima is Andrée Trapet’s answer to the traditional red A Minima from Burgundy. Produced since 2012, it combines Alsatian diversity with Burgundian finesse – a wine that elegantly unites tradition and innovation.
