Jurassic limestone wine: wine of light, wine of fruit. Deep nose, with citrus fruit, "zest", resins. In the mouth, a precise attack with an impression of volume, a citrus tone, bark bitters, fatness, almost malty. Great finish on noble bitterness, mixed with the raw acidity of lemon. A wine of volume, concentration on the palate, built like a cylinder, a "length" of fruit, but finer as it progresses, with a fleshy finish. Decant three hours before serving. Recommended temperature 8°-10°C

Technique

Viticulture

It comes from the Rotenberg, this limestone slab of the great Oolite, sloping towards the east, standing like a sentinel facing the south and the plain. It is the earliest of the Bergheim terroirs. Its red soils, marked by iron, deeply chalky and this totally sunny climate bring together the Riesling and the Pinot Gris in a characteristic shimmer of citrus fruits. The vinification in amphora highlights this terroir in a native and decarbonised form, which keeps only the essential, like a purification and reveals another facet of this terroir, the Rotenberg.

Oenology

Yields: 35 hL/ha. One year vinification in amphora. Bottled without sulphur or filtration. Vinolok glass stopper.

Suggestions for accompaniment

This wine is a great match for Mediterranean cuisine, white meats or lemon-based dishes.

Marcel Deiss

The Deiss estate is located in Bergheim, a village nestled in the heart of Alsace wine country. Born into a family of winegrowers who had been living in Bergheim since 1744, Marcel Deiss chose the profession of arms at the age of 18 and left his native land. Returning to his homeland after the Second World War, he rediscovered his roots and developed his small landholding into a dynamic winegrowing business. Today, run by Jean-Michel and Mathieu Deiss, the estate covers 27 hectares spread over 9 communes and 20 kilometres. The extreme variety of the vineyard (220 plots) has led to a search for the exact balance between the affirmation of the place, the expression of the vintage and the framework of the grape variety for each vintage. The interaction between these factors makes it possible to distinguish the so-called "terroir" vintages: here the place alone expresses its mark, dominating the other contingencies. It determines the style, the exact personality, the very physiognomy of the wine. For the Grands Crus, the indication of the grape variety is often superfluous as the influence of the origin is so strong on its usual expression. This effort, combined with high planting densities (8,000 to 12,000 vines/hectare), makes it possible to express all the fine nuances of the place, its temperament, its deep singularity. According to Jean-Michel Deiss, planting a single grape...
