The Cœur d’Assemblage 2024 from François Bléger is a distinctly aromatic and generous white wine, in which the power of traditional Alsace grapes comes together in an elegant, modern style. The wine gleams in the glass with a pale gold colour and a soft sheen. On the nose it opens with scents of blossom, roses and jasmine, followed by juicy peach, lychee and a hint of fresh herbs. The combination of Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Riesling creates a layered bouquet with both floral and fruity depth. On the palate the wine is full and supple, with a slightly unctuous attack and a soft, ripe fruit expression. The fruit is ripe yet fresh, with aromas of apricot, juicy pear and a subtle spiciness that seems to come from the Gewurztraminer. The Riesling's acidity provides structure and tension without being sharp. The wine feels harmonious, with a silky texture that glides over the tongue and ends in a round, charming finish with a floral touch. This cuvée is a warm-hearted Alsace white wine that is both approachable and full of character a heartfelt expression of grapes that complement each other perfectly.
Ideal with lightly spiced Asian dishes, chicken in coconut milk, spicy couscous or mint salad. Also delicious with semi-hard cheeses or a leek and goat's cheese quiche.
