Grand Cru of Niedermorschwihr and Katzenthal in the Haut-Rhin (very steep south-facing slope up to 45°, altitude up to 400 m at the foot of the Trois-Épis, two-mica Turckheim granite, unique mineral granitic sands). Riesling is the signature white — intensely mineral and racy with notes of mint, verbena, citrus and aromatic herbs, taut aromatic complexity. Powerful and elegant, built for long ageing, characteristic freshness; benchmark Alsatian Riesling.
