The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Schoenenbourg'
Grand Cru north of Riquewihr (~53 ha, 265–380 m, Keuper marls, gypsum and dolomite, clay subsoil with water retention). Riesling defines the flagship white on marly-gypseous soils: tender weight with exotic fragrances, smooth complexity and minerality of warm pebbles; late harvest versions are exuberant, with smoky gunflint-gypsum and flint minerality. Muscat and Pinot Gris complement; 5–7 years aging reveals full potential.
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: Thermoregulation
Control of the vinification temperatures (by circulating hot or cold water on the walls of the vats, for example). This is a major step forward, which in particular helps to preserve the freshness of the aromas threatened by excessive temperature rises during fermentation.
