This wine perfectly illustrates J-M. Deiss' philosophy on terroir and grape variety. The entire Pinot family is planted here in this very special Grand Cru, energetic and solar, more Burgundian than Alsatian. The nose is complex with notes of citrus, ripe fruit and plum. On the palate, the wine is distinguished by its fullness and impressive dry extract. It is a wine with impressive energy and exceptional ageing potential.

Technique

Viticulture

The Mambourg is the earliest slope in the vineyard. It benefits from the maximum amount of sunshine. Calcimagnesic soil developed on calcareous conglomerates and marl from the Tertiary covering of the hills. This particular geology from the Oligocene limestones of the Quaternary period gives Mambourg its tannic power and a suave roundness of form. The vineyard is planted exclusively with Pinots at 12,700 vines per hectare and produces 15-20 hl/ha.

Oenology

Vinification and maturation in large tuns, on fine lees.

Suggestions for accompaniment

This great gastronomic wine is ideal with, for example, a roasted lobster and a mango salad.

Marcel Deiss

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...
