The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Wiebelsberg'
Grand Cru of Andlau, Bas-Rhin (12. 52 ha at 227–330 m, south to south-east facing, warm and dry terroir with steep slopes, porous sandy soils of pink-brown siliceous and ferruginous Vosges sandstone with cemented quartz grains): Riesling is the white king (95%) — chiselled and mineral, vivid citrus, taut salinity and airy finesse when young, gaining depth with age. Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Muscats as minor complements.
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: Terroir
Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
