Terroir
Selection of plots around Ribeauvillé and Bergheim which are harvested in
over-ripening with the development of noble rot. Selection obtained by successive sorting of grapes affected by noble rot, from plots harvested at over-ripeness several weeks after the end of the official harvest.
The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. Whole bunches are pressed in pneumatic presses to avoid crushing. The juices are separated to optimise the quality of our wines. After static settling, the wines are fermented under temperature control and then matured on fine lees for 7 months. After filtration, the wines are bottled and matured in our cellars.
Intense, rich, fine nose with complex notes of candied exotic fruit and dried apricots. The mouth is full and round, with an exceptionally long finish Thanks to its magnificent acidity, this wine is perfectly balanced, with no heaviness whatsoever.
