Cochon Pinot Blanc:  Subtle aromas of crushed white flowers, stone fruit, golden apple Asian pear followed by hints of lemon zest and a stony minerality. This elegant wine is medium-bodied and crisp with a slightly rounded mouthfeel. Displaying a deft balance of texture as well as a lifted acidity, bright fruit combined with steely, chalky coolness.
