A Minima blanc 2022

The A Minima has a tradition at the Trapets. Especially in the Burgundian vineyard, A Minima stands for an excellent passe-tout-grains of Pinot Noir and Gamay. In Alsace, Andrée Trapet wanted to give the red A Minima juxtapose a white version. It has been around since 2012. The fruit comes from the Rosembourg terroir, where a very old Sylvaner, a Pinot, an Auxerrois and a parcel of Gewürztraminer are planted. Andrée decided to add a little Muscat, in the extension of Rosembourg another Muscat coming from the Grand Cru Schoenenbourg. A little Pinot Gris and some Riesling also come from the same sector. So we are talking about six grape varieties here. The musts did not receive any SO₂but the wine was made with minimal free SO₂ filled.

The 2022s A Minima Blanc is a fragrant and aromatic wine that does not want to hide the shares of Muscat and Gewürztraminer. There are lots of roses, nutmeg, lime blossom and aniseed, but also grapefruit with its peel, ripe apples and some honeydew melon. What is fascinating is that the wine is fresh and lightly fragrant.

Also on the palate is the A Minima Blanc a great seducer. The wine holds a fantastic freshness with ripe acidity but lively minerality. It has a fine tannin and a lot of saltiness, which directly waters the mouth. In the finish, the aromatic fruit is trumped by a deep spiciness. This is great fun!
