Tasting Notes

This wine is produced on various terroirs of the Community BERGHEIM, grown in vineyards mixed with marl, clay and oolitic limestone which gave a more or less heavy calcareous-clay soil. This soil is always fertile, and contains a large capacity for reserving water. The vineyard on this type of land expresses quite dramatically the true nature of vine.

The wine is produced exclusively according to the precepts of the most ancient tradition of viticulture, based on three main concerns: respect for the subsoil and its geological origin, the creation and maintenance of "soil" heritage (aerating by plowing the humus & grass), mastery of vine (hoeing, pruning, and green harvest). This concept, which seeks to replace the Plant - Soil – Wine maker, in balance with each other with the environment allows for the disappearance of varietal characters, replacing it with the subtle expressions of the places which unifies terroir and grape variety together, when the human is at the service of nature.

The wine is a blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Beurot, Pinot Noir, and Auxerrois. As a grape variety used in many of the vineyards of France, Pinot Blanc always gives a wine of great nobility and a wonderful roundness.

Look for notes of brioche, praline and vanilla on the nose, as well as yellow peach and pineapple. You will note a pleasant, refreshing and tense feeling in the month at first, with some textural fat and good length. The wine is meant to be enjoyed now, and can be aged for up to 8 years.
