The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Steinklotz'
Northernmost Grand Cru in Alsace at Marlenheim in the Bas-Rhin (~40 ha at 200–300 m on a 20–30% south-south-east slope, poor, very stony brown calcareous soil on Muschelkalk and Lettenkohle marls and scree forming a compact block). Gewurztraminer (44%) is the signature opulent white and Riesling (29%) is taut — characteristic calcareous profiles. Ample Pinot Gris (27%), historically excellent Pinot Noir beyond Grand Cru on this stone.
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: Vaccaresis
Black grape variety, one of the 13 of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be used in a blend in this appellation and other neighbouring AOCs (Côtes-du-Rhône, Gigondas...). It produces a floral, elegant and fresh wine, which balances the warmth of the Grenache. It is rare.
