The Saint Hippolyte terroir is steeply sloped and terraced. It is a complex vineyard, bringing together the earliest grape varieties and Riesling in a salty symphony. The wines have a mineral structure and the subtle effervescent acidity of the Granit de Thannenkirch. On the palate, the acid structure is always impressive with its tactile precision, intense salivation and acidic vibrato. Wine Spectator : 93/100

The extreme variety of the vineyard (220 plots) has led to a search for the exact balance between the affirmation of the place, the expression of the vintage and the framework of the grape variety for each vintage. The interaction between these factors makes it possible to distinguish the so-called "terroir" vintages: here the place alone expresses its mark, dominating the other contingencies.
