description

A blend of all the grapes of Alsace: Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Beurot, Muscat Blanc, and Traminer.

Jean-Michel Deiss is among those wine-growers not simply content to make great wines- he wants to make history. In an Alsace where the dominant religion is the fruity expression of the varietal, he is looking by any means necessary to exalt the character of his beautiful terroirs around the medieval fortifications of Bergheim: by going back to a centuries-old tradition where different grape varieties are planted side by side. These mixed plantings, when coupled with biodynamic farming, only accentuate the soil's minerality. Like never before we can now taste the incredible diversity of his vineyard mosaic, with 2007s that are powerful, concentrated, and age-worthy; with 2008s that are racy, taut, and bursting with a kaleidoscope of flavors. Vineyard is 2 hectare of Pinot Noir; 25 hectare of twelve different white varietals!
