Jerôme bottled two cuvées of Pinot Blanc this vintage; we preferred this textbook early bottling. Very bright pale lemon. Attractively fresh with ripe apple fruit. Creamy, well balanced and drinkable. "Easy, perfumed and zesty. Some floral notes. Texture. Dry finish. 16/20" - Jancis Robinson MW on www.jancisrobinson.com, 2nd Dec 2011. Now-2013

Young Jerôme Mader is extremely talented and growing in confidence with each vintage at the estate his father founded after leaving the co-op in this tiny village. We always admire the value at this small - under 9 hectares - domaine, and prices remain fair. The land is in conversion to organic viticulture here, and the fruit is picked early and given very gentle handling and low temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, so as to preserve clean, fresh, fruit flavours.
