Alsace enjoys a great diversity of terroirs and landscapes. Gifted for its vine culture, it is blessed with a dry and temperate climate, complex geology, favorable soils and an ideal exposure for its vineyards. Its geographical situation at a crossroads of Germanic and Roman influences, also tells a story: that of a culture fostered at the very outset by the Romans and perpetuated since by impassioned winegrowers.
The Pinot Blanc grapes are harvested from diverse hillside vineyards around the little village of Bergheim, with a predominance of heavy soils compound by clay and limestone. Each vineyard is picked separately, over two to three days. Wines are made in separate lots, then blended before transferred to large (old) oak casks for a period of six months, wines are then transferred back to stainless steel vats before being bottled.
The 2023 opens with bright & intense aromatics of white flowers, stone fruits, citrus & spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with an airy & juicy freshness to the apricot, green pear, peach skin & spiced citrus notes. It is beautifully balanced; bone dry & finishes with a refreshing lemon squeeze & crushed rock minerality.
