Josmeyer Mise du Printemps Le Pinot Blanc 2023
From the biodynamic Domaine Josmeyer in Wintzenheim, Alsace, the Mise du Printemps Le Pinot Blanc 2023 is a vibrant, elegant white wine that captures the essence of spring. Crafted from 70% Pinot Auxerrois and 30% Pinot Blanc, sourced from 40-year-old vines on the Rotenberg and Herrenweg terroirs, this wine is hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented in century-old oak foudres. Bottled in late February, it boasts a pale straw hue and refined quality.
Winemaking Process
Josmeyer’s commitment to biodynamic farming shines in this wine. The 2023 vintage, grown on clay-limestone soils, reflects Alsace’s unique terroir. Gentle pressing and fermentation in traditional foudres preserve its purity, making it a standout in biodynamic white wines. Alcohol level is 12.5% ABV, with residual sugar at 6.2 g/L, and it’s sealed with a natural cork closure.
Tasting Notes
A crisp, dry white with vibrant fruit and subtle minerality, offering elegant simplicity.
The nose reveals delicate white flowers, green apple, and citrus zest, with hints of peach and nectarine. On the palate, it’s lively yet balanced, with crisp acidity, a silky texture, and a subtle saline finish.
Awards and Accolades
Josmeyer’s Mise du Printemps 2023 has earned praise for its quality, with Vinum highlighting its “long, citrusy finish” with yuzu notes and WineAlign’s John Szabo noting its “dense, stony” character.
