These dominant characteristics give the wine a phenomenal length, a slightly tannic structure, a power barely rounded by this warm minerality so particular to rolled gravel: an iron hand in a velvet glove.

Viticulture

Anxious to go further in the expression of the marls of the Gruenspiel terroir, literally the "Game of greens", one of the most qualitative of the Bergheim finage, which takes its poetic name from the checkerboard that expresses the heterogeneous nature of the surface soil made up of torrential sandstone, granitic and sometimes gneissic deposits, laid down on a deep matrix of Keuper lake marls. The estate has chosen the path of maceration, a new way of expressing some of its sites, of making them blossom in their youth without giving up their aptitude for ageing.

Oenology

Area: 1.5 ha. Planting density: 8000 vines/ha. Age of the vineyard: planted between 1982 and 2002. Yields: 35 hL/ha. Vinification: Maceration for 3 weeks in vats, aged in tuns for one year. Bottled without sulphur or filtration. Vinolok glass stopper.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Will be amazing with a well-spiced beef tartare for example! In fact, few dishes scare this wine.

The Deiss estate is located in Bergheim, a village nestled in the heart of Alsace wine country. Born into a family of winegrowers who had been living in Bergheim since 1744, Marcel Deiss chose the profession of arms at the age of 18 and left his native land. Returning to his homeland after the Second World War, he rediscovered his roots and developed his small landholding into a dynamic winegrowing business. Today, run by Jean-Michel and Mathieu Deiss, the estate covers 27 hectares spread over 9 communes and 20 kilometres. 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. It determines the style, the exact personality, the very physiognomy of the wine. For the Grands Crus, the indication of the grape variety is often superfluous as the influence of the origin is so strong on its usual expression. This effort, combined with high planting densities (8,000 to 12,000 vines/hectare), makes it possible to express all the fine nuances of the place, its temperament, its deep singularity. According to Jean-Michel Deiss, planting a single grape...
