The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Altenberg de Bergheim'

Grand Cru of Bergheim in Haut-Rhin (full south-facing, warm and dry, iron-rich red argillo-calcareous soils on Jurassic limestone and Liassic marls, over-exposed microclimate). Riesling is the signature white (50-70%) complemented by Gewurztraminer (10-25%) and Pinot Gris (10-25%) — dense matter with concentrated ripe fruits, spices, and ferrous minerality. Ancestral co-planted blend authorized since 2005, a wine for aging.


The wine region of Alsace

Capital of great French aromatic whites, most often dry and single-varietal. Straight, mineral Riesling (lemon, gunflint), opulent, exuberant Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose, spices), round, smoky Pinot Gris, floral, crisp Muscat, supple Pinot Blanc. Fine, fruity Crémants d'Alsace, exceptional sweet Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. 15,500 ha at the foot of the Vosges on varied soils, 51 Grands Crus since 1975.

The word of the wine: Black Grenache

Grenache is a black grape variety that originated in Spain and is one of the great quality varieties of southern France. Sometimes vinified on its own, it is most often blended with one or more other Rhone or southern grape varieties with complementary qualities such as Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan or Cinsault. Its wines are warm, with aromas of red fruits (cherry) and spices; they oxidize with time. Vinified alone or in very large proportions, Grenache Noir also makes great natural sweet wines in Roussillon (Rivesaltes, Banyuls, Maury) and in the Rhône Valley (Rasteau).
