- Anders Frederik Steen was a sommelier and chef at NOMA in Copenhagen, bringing a world of experience to his winemaking passion since the first vintage in 2013. Today he and his partner Anne Bruun Blauert run the winery out of their home cellar in Ardeche, France, with a unique approach and vision earning them fans around the globe. Anders describes this exceptional Pinot Blanc here:
"It took some time for this wine to find its place and open up. When it finally did, it was with an aromatic explosion as big white roses during summer. The aroma of this wine is so powerful and at the same time so fragile - with a long fresh taste of citrus and a light salty bitterness from the barrique and the oxidation. This wine is made in the same way as the whites from 2015: Two nights of oxidation of the juice which means that the juice is left in a big open container, for the sediments to fall and to start the fermentation in good way. Afterwards it has been fermenting 6 months outside the fiber tank, followed by 2 1/2 years of fermentation aging in 10 year old barriques. " - Anders F Steen
