Varietal Character (Appellation America)

Altenbourg

The lieu-dit Altenburg is located between 220 and 300 m of altitude, gently sloping, just below the lower boundary of the Grand Cru Furstentum.

Its soils are marl-calcaro-sandstone, comparable to those of the Furstentum, with a higher proportion of sand and a slightly earlier maturation. The Altenburg promotes great ripeness, it produces very beautiful Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.

The deep, clay-limestone soils of this Kientzheim hill are recognized geologically and empirically as being very favorable to Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.

The lowest part of this hill gives birth to the Gewurztraminer Cuvée Laurence.
