Domaine Mittnacht Cuvee Copains Copines Gentil (1x75cl)
Domaine Mittnacht, a revered biodynamic estate nestled in the heart of Alsace, presents its Cuvée Copains Copines Gentil. This wine exemplifies the region's unique 'Gentil' appellation, a traditional blend requiring a minimum of 50% noble Alsatian varieties—Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Muscat—complemented by others such as Pinot Blanc or Sylvaner. This meticulous blending approach aims to capture a harmonious expression of Alsace's diverse terroir, from the granite and limestone slopes to the marl-clay plains. Mittnacht's commitment to biodynamic viticulture ensures a vibrant, authentic reflection of these soils and the specific microclimates of their vineyards. The resulting wine is crafted to offer both aromatic complexity and a refreshing structural integrity, characteristic of a well-executed Alsatian white blend.
