Kubler’s 2008 Pinot Blanc K – which this vintage, as in 2009, is pure Auxerrois – displays invigorating salinity and herbal pungency that supply some counterpoint to its low-acid, soft, glycerin-rich, and in part for those reasons faintly sweet pit fruit-dominated palate. Plan to drink this over the next 6-9 months. (The sweetness was a bit awkward in the high-toned 2009 rendition, as was also the case with Kubler’s 2009 Kintet blend.) Philippe Kubler is among the few Alsace growers I met to have elected – quite reasonably in my opinion – to market some of his 2009s ahead of (and others concurrent with) the corresponding 2008s. He notes that “the styles are dramatically different, and the 2008s deserve a year or longer in the bottle whereas the 2009s are ready to drink.” That said, I suspect that save for the V.T.s among them, Kubler’s 2008s aren’t really built for long aging.Importers include Chateau St. Martin, Bellevue, WA; tel.

Kubler’s Auxerrois-based 2007 Pinot Blanc K –overwhelmingly Auxerrois; vinified in cask; and truly dry – overwhelmingly Auxerrois; vinified in cask; and truly dry – is scented with orange zest, honeydew melon, and herbs. Satisfyingly juicy and with surprising vivacity, its hint of finishing bitterness is invigorating rather than awkward. Plan to enjoy it over the next couple of years. Young Philippe Kubler returned to his family’s estate in 2004 after diverse and impressive international experience and is conscientiously working to pull this domaine into the vanguard of its region. It should be noted that the initial “K” in several Kubler bottlings is merely a way of designating his basic range of bottlings.Importers include Chateau St. Martin, Bellevue, WA; tel.
