The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Brand'
Grand Cru of Turckheim overlooking the Fecht (~58 ha, uniform pink two-mica biotite granite with quartz and feldspar, sandy and stony, full south, one of the driest in Alsace): signature Riesling (~2/3 of plantings) — poised minerality and well-integrated acidity with vibrant white fruits. Gewurztraminer and Weißburgunder as complement with concentrated, spiced notes. Early-ripening, warm microclimate sheltered by the Vosges, powerful and elegant wines.
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...).
