Tasting Note:
The 2020 PCC is a refined, quietly expressive pét-nat that balances freshness with texture. Aromas of pear skin, green apple, and white flowers lift from the glass, joined by hints of lemon peel and almond. On the palate, the bubbles are fine and gentle, framing crisp orchard fruit, subtle leesy creaminess, and a chalky mineral core. Bright acidity and saline lift keep the wine precise and refreshing, finishing clean with citrus zest and wet stone. Elegant, dry, and incredibly versatile at the table.

About the Producer:
Domaine Weinbach, founded in 1612 and stewarded by the Faller family, is one of Alsace’s most revered estates. Certified biodynamic, the domaine farms the historic Clos des Capucins as a living ecosystem, prioritizing soil health, low yields, and hand harvesting. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations, long lees contact, and minimal intervention guide wines toward purity and balance. The PCC bottling reflects Weinbach’s understated mastery—bringing finesse and clarity to the ancestral sparkling style while remaining deeply rooted in terroir.
