Pellegrin blanc, Pinot Auxerrois - 2024

Provenance: Geneva
Appellation: Geneva
Domain: Grand'Cour, J-P. Pellegrin
Grape variety(ies): Pinot auxerrois, pinot gris et pinot blanc
Alcohol degree: 13%

Its pale gold colour is bright and promises a lively, refined wine. The nose is rich in aromas of white fruits, dominated by juicy pear, green apple and floral hints of acacia blossom. On the palate, this wine is distinguished by its round, silky texture, but also by a fine, lively acidity that gives it good length on the finish. It reveals a pleasant minerality, the signature of a well-managed terroir. This Pinot Auxerrois is often compared to a Chardonnay in structure, but with a more fruity and less buttery personality.

In 1989, he received his father's estate and took his destiny as a winemaker into his own hands. In 1994, he restored the magnificent 600-year-old family farmhouse himself and built a cellar in old stones which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the canton.

On his 15 hectares and on 15 others which he recently took over, "JPP" cultivates, with the help of his eternal second-in-command Bruno and his teams, about twenty grape varieties, which they transform into as many vintages that are sought after by the best restaurants and the most discerning amateurs.

The viticulture is organic, but without certification: Jean-Pierre Pellegrin has banned all chemical products in the vineyards and vinifies many of his wines with indigenous yeasts. The wines are matured in vats, concrete amphorae, Burgundy barrels or very high quality Bordeaux barrels, depending on the origin of the grape varieties and plots. The range is wide, but of impressive quality.
