Yura, 'Abeille et le Papillon' 2024 Chenin Blanc you’re in for a cherry-lacedPlace: Alsace, France Grape: Pinot Blanc + Auxerrois Vibe: For your cellar Takes some winemaker to make Pinot Blanc taste this good. A third fermented in stainless steel, two thirds in demi muids, one new and one older. Stone fruited and gently spicy, the time in barrel has shaped this into something of a chameleon. It nods to some of my favourite wine regions and stands stylistically apart from the usual run of the mill Alsatian wines on the market.
