Viticulture

This wine comes from the Burg terroir, "Premier Cru" of the Bergheim vineyard, whose geological (variegated Keuper marl with rare limestone intercalations) and climatic characteristics (south-facing, protected location set back from the valley) allow each year for the birth of a great, powerful, complex and structured wine, which can be laid down for a very long time, from the traditional Alsatian grape varieties planted in the vineyard.

Oenology

Vinification and maturation in large tuns, on fine lees.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Hot oysters au gratin with tarragon butter - Pan-fried foie gras with balsamic caramel - Gnocchi with Bleu d'Auvergne cheese and caramelized walnuts.
