Description

A fresh and aromatic Riesling reflecting the terroirs of Alsace

The property

Located in Bergheim, in the heart of Alsace wine country, Domaine Marcel Deiss is a brand ambassador for its region. Born into a family of winegrowers who had lived in Bergheim since 1744, Marcel Deiss became a soldier when he came of age and left his native land. When he returned after the Second World War, he decided to invest in the family passion: the vine. With the help of his son André, he set about developing a dynamic business. Today, the house is managed by the charismatic Jean-Michel Deiss and his son Mathieu.

Marcel Deiss has a very particular approach to wine that is close to a vision that could be called Burgundian. In fact, in a wine region that generally emphasises grape varieties (Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, etc.), at the Marcel Deiss estate, these are replaced by the terroir. The different vines are planted together in a plot and all the grape varieties receive the same treatment. They are also harvested together. All the vintages are also vinified in the same way. The choice of biodynamic agriculture contributes strongly to this promotion of the terroirs in Alsace, which is one of the regions of France with the most varied soils.

Tasting and comparing the wines of the estate is a unique and meaningful experience that shows determining influence of the terroir on the taste of the wine. To take this approach further, the Marcel Deiss estate is investing in a new level of appellation in Alsace: the premiers crus : well-defined terroirs comparable to the climats of Burgundy. Always ahead of its time and dynamic, Marcel Deiss is a must, offering a unique and exciting approach to Alsatian wines.

The vineyard

The vintages of the Domaine Marcel Deiss are all different thanks to the plenitude of terroirs, made up of limestone, granite, schist, gneiss and sandstone. One of the most emblematic vineyards is the Champ de Failles de Ribeauvillé which covers 38 hectares. It is located on hillsides belonging to the communes of Rorschwihr, Bergheim, Ribeauvillé, Zellenberg, Riquewihr and Sigolsheim. Many of Alsace's famous grands crus are located on these plots and guarantee numerous possibilities for wine making. The many valleys, streams and winds create microclimates. The Alsatian grape varieties are adapted to the harsh continental climate which allows the devlopment of noble rot.

The wine

This refined, lively and complex dry Riesling illustrates the know-how of the Deiss family. The grapes come from plots located in the commune of Ribeauvillé, at the Gruenspiel, Hagueneau and Weinbaum sites on Muschelcalk limestone, clay, sandstone and gravel soils.
