Discover the grape variety: Klevener de Heiligenstein

Aromatic, refined dry whites with a pale golden colour, a full palate and preserved acidity, showing signature aromas of discreet muscat notes (rose), white flowers, white-fleshed fruits (pear) and delicate spicy notes. A distinctive aromatic profile, more restrained than Gewurztraminer. Preserved under a specific Alsatian appellation around Heiligenstein (Bas-Rhin), producing identity-driven wines. Rare Alsatian white variety, identical to the Jurassian Savagnin Rose.

"Sélection de Grains Nobles" mention at the summit. AOC (1950), ~1,400 ha across 27 villages, slaty schists, Layon mists favouring Botrytis cinerea.

The wine region of Loire Valley

Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.

The word of the wine: Amylic
