Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Pfersigberg “H” 2009

Two neighbouring vineyards of Pinot Blanc. A lovely, frank, gourmand wine, produced with care and attention to detail.

Two neighbouring white grape varieties considered to be minor, but here worked with great care Bruno Schueller knows how to make an exceptional wine.

Gewurztraminer grapes picked at optimum ripeness, then macerated to extract all the complexity of the aromas and textures of the grapes.

A limestone terroir that balances the richness of the ripe pinot noir grapes with beautiful mineral acidity.

The Alsatian estate led by Bruno Schueller is a great pioneer of viticulture and wine without inputs of any kind. It is spread over three villages in the Haut-Rhin - Husseren-les-Châteaux, Eguisheim (Grands Crus Eichberg and Pfersigberg) and Obermorschwihr (lieu-dit Bildstoecklé) - and is guided by one philosophy: living soils free of any chemical treatment, totally natural vinification to stay as close as possible to the terroir. The wines are matured for long periods of time to bring the raw material to its highest mineral expression and its greatest capacity to evolve over time. Original and vibrant wines, strongly marked by the personality of the winemaker.

A selection of plots in the heart of the Grand Cru Pfersigberg, the quintessence of this Grand Cru which perfectly combines richness and finesse.

Straightforward, salivating, Riesling as it is, simple but not simplistic...

A magnificent selection from a locality ("le trou du renard") adjacent to the marl and limestone terroir of the Grand Cru Pfersigberg, which is particularly favourable to Riesling.
