Alsace Ribeauvillé

The Marcel Deiss estate is undoubtedly one of the most exciting estates. Located in Bergheim in the heart of the most beautiful Alsatian terroirs, the family estate now has 27 hectares of vines on 220 separate plots where three Grand Crus and nine Premier Crus are produced each year. On these fabulous terroirs, Jean-Michel Deiss and his son Mathieu, winegrowers in the noblest sense of the word, are always looking for excellence, for the best possible combination between the grape varieties planted and the soil, in a perpetual quest for the best identity to give to their wines. In biodynamic viticulture, which is a given here... The complantation is the great particularity of the Marcel Deiss estate, which practices the art of associating the grape varieties on the same terroir to reveal it at its best, as did their Alsatian ancestors elsewhere. A fair return to the origins in short. Three families of wines are defined: - the fruit wines; greedy wines faithful to their grape variety, always remarkably well balanced. - the wines of time; affected by noble rot and requiring patience to blossom and deliver all their greatness. - terroir wines; the most exciting wines of the Marcel Deiss estate because of their constitution and their aromatic complexity, deep, salivating wines, which only ask to be expressed, as if personified by the terroir... The power and depth of the Burg, the minerality and straightness of the Schoffweg, the sanguine and volcanic character of the Burlenberg, the richness and almost infinite complexity of the Schoenenbourg, the masterly balance of the Altenberg de Bergheim, the spherical and dry sweetness of the Mambourg... Great art... The greatest critics salute the performance in the exercise of style which borders on perfection vintage after vintage. Come and discover this fabulous palette of wine artists from the Marcel Deiss estate, among the elite in the world wine hierarchy. You will have to compose the ideal food-wine pairing according to the vintage for an optimal tasting and a moment rich in emotions. Enjoy and consume these nectars in moderation.
