The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Zotzenberg'
Grand Cru of Mittelbergheim in Bas-Rhin (south-east facing slope, marly-limestone soils retaining moisture and resistant to drought). Sylvaner is the exclusive signature white — the only Grand Cru in Alsace authorizing this variety (2005 decree) — fruity profile with full-bodied notes and a surprisingly complete palate for Sylvaner, dense and fresh matter revealing the terroir. Planted since the late 19th century. Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris also authorized, a unique exception.
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: Water stress
Lack of water. Water stress blocks the vegetative cycle of the vine, which uses all available resources to maintain the integrity of the plant, thus blocking the ripening process of the grapes.
