Tasting note
Very attractive already, quite powerful nose. Full bodied wine with intensity, depth and beautiful mineral flavour. Rich, ripe acidity in the palate. Great personality and finesse. Full of charm already after nearly 4 years of bottle ageing.
Viticulture
A historic plot straddling the Grands Crus Geisberg and Otersberg in Ribeauvillé, it overlooks our Maison and has given birth to this wine for several generations. Marl-limestone-sandstone soils, southern and S-E exposure, steep slope, old vines over 55 years old.
Vinification
Our grapes are harvested at maturity then crushed and delicately pressed in a pneumatic press. Vinified in a dry style in stainless steel vats and old casks. No malolactic fermentation, or long ageing on lees in order to preserve freshness, liveliness and fruity aromas. Bottled in Spring, then 5 to 6 years of ageing minimum in the cellar.
Food Match
Delicious with fish, poultry and veal and sea scallops. Traditionally served in Alsace with goose and pork and with Alsacian meats.
