The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Rosacker'
Grand Cru of Hunawihr in Haut-Rhin (~26 ha, 260-330 m, east-south-east exposure, Triassic Muschelkalk and dolomitic Lettenkohle limestone, calci-magnesian soils with Vosges sandstone debris). Riesling is the signature grape (50%): dry, powerful and concentrated with ripe aromas and superb extended saline tension. Gewurztraminer (30%) adds richness. Temperate microclimate fostering slow ripening, wines of great longevity; home to the mythical Clos Sainte Hune.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
