Wine rated 94/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Slightly saltier than Spiegel, more tense and straightforward, with root-like nuances in the aromas and a lovely style, this wine has a certain piquancy (literally) and will age well.
About the estate:
Bergholtz's iconic estate for two generations now. The 18 hectares of biodynamic vineyards are the result of the union between Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. Within the range, the beautiful terroirs of Saering, Kitterlé, Kessler, and especially Spiegel have great aging potential, allowing the slight residual sugars to mellow.

Wine rating (2021 guide) 95/100 Favorite
Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About wine:
With a subtly exotic aroma, Saering is bursting with energy and offers a rich texture and dry extract: its density and depth are truly exciting.
About the estate:
Sensitive and experienced winemakers, Jean Dirler and his wife Ludivine are at the helm of this estate founded in 1871, passed down from father to son for five generations and biodynamic since 1998. Regardless of the grape variety, the wines have never been so well-balanced, dense and mature: an impressive range of great dry white wines culminates in the magnificent expressions of the Spiegel, Saering, Kessler and Kitterlé grands crus, which are a must-try and are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth and water). This estate offers a remarkable welcome and many wines are available in older vintages. The exceptional quality of the entire range in recent vintages has earned it a third star this year.

About wine:
An appealing, fresh nose of melon and white peach, with a hint of floral notes. The palate offers vibrant flavors of lime and grapefruit, with a punchy, consistent finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar.
