Biodynamic in conversion. Gris, Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois rooted in the Furstentum Grand Cru. Specifically, it is made from about 60% Pinot Gris; the rest is from an adjoining block that is a field blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois. Due to the small quantity, all the grapes are co-fermented and aged in smaller (than usual) barrels for 14 months. The vines are around 40 years old. The review offers high praise, and we would expect nothing short of brilliance from this combination of vineyard, grower and vintage.

Reviews

“This effortlessly integrates the rich and creamy, spicy and textural sides of Alsace wines to create a powerful yet animating whole. Lots of melon and persimmon, but this is anything other than loudly fruity. A co-fermentation of pinot gris, pinot blanc and auxerrois. The second vintage of this wine declared as a Grand Cru.”
