The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Pfingstberg'
Grand Cru of Orschwihr in Haut-Rhin (28 ha, 270–370 m on steep terraced slopes, southeast-facing backed by the Vosges, siliceous muschelkalk shell limestone with low water retention): Riesling in white (51%) — chiselled and fresh with tense salinity, late-harvest microclimate favouring noble rot. Gewurztraminer (27%) with airy elegance, Pinot Gris (21%) racy on the lower clay section, Muscat (1%) delicate.
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: Stirring (champagne)
Manual operation (on a "desk") or mechanical (with a "gyropalette") which allows the deposit created by the yeasts (see tirage) to go down to the neck of the bottle for disgorging.
