"Complantation of Riesling and Pinots with some Muscat and Chasselas on powdery/marly limestone soil in Bergheim, next to the Altenberg Grand Cru.
Fermented and aged in used Burgundian barrels, the wine is intense and spicy on the clear, deep, concentrated though elegant and balanced nose, which indicates just a touch of new oak (15-20%) along with ripe stone fruit aromas. Rich, round, very intense and concentrated on the palate, this is a nobly expressive, very complex, and firmly structured white wine with a long and very promising mineral finish. Alsace for Burgundy lovers. Highly recommended!"
I hate Bob Parker but can join his description above. The wine now is rather atypical for Alsace but very interesting.

Nez un peu ferme... Mais en bouche !!!! Feux d'artifice de saveur gardant un equilibre spectaculaire et longueur incroyable (au-dela de 20 caudalies) !
