Domaine Dirler-Cadé - Gewurztraminer Kitterlé Grand Cru Élément Terre 2019

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

An emblematic Bergholtz estate for two generations now. The 18 hectares of biodynamic vineyards are the result of the union of Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. In the range, the fine terroirs of Saering, Kitterlé, Kessler and especially Spiegel have great ageing potential, allowing the slight residual sugars to melt away.

About the domain :

Sensitive and experienced winemakers, Jean Dirler and his wife Ludivine are at the helm of this estate, founded in 1871, handed down from father to son for five generations, and biodynamic since 1998. Whatever the grape variety, the precision of the wines, their density and maturity have never been better: an impressive range of great dry white wines culminates in the magnificent expressions of the Spiegel, Saering, Kessler and Kitterlé grands crus, which must be discovered, and which are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth, water). This too discreet house offers a remarkable welcome, and many wines are available in older vintages.

About the wine:

A broad nose of spices and exotic fruits (lychee, but also papaya and mangosteen!) Very rich and succulent with an enveloping creaminess, but only a touch of sweetness and almost no perceptible bitterness, this is a remarkable gewurz that is surprisingly easy to drink, thanks to the silky texture and excellent balance of the very long finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
