Henry Fuchs, Pinot Blanc Auxerrois, 2024 so120823 girard bonnet champagne offer spending 2–3 years on leesDomaine Henry Fuchs is a small organic estate in Ribeauville, in the heart of Alsace, now run by fourth generation Paul Fuchs on limestone and marl soils. This is a classic Alsatian blend of Pinot Blanc with some Auxerrois, sourced from older vines, hand harvested, whole bunch pressed and fermented with native yeasts. It's the workhorse white of Alsace: easygoing, gently fruity, and endlessly food friendly, with just enough acidity to keep it lively.
