"[...] The nose of Pinot Gris Schimberg 2020 is subtle and nicely profiled with lively acidity. It comes from a massal selection of small berries, hence the concentration of acidity. On the finish, there's a lovely roundness of pear that adds to the lemony brightness so unusual for Pinot Gris. Magnificent. (Vinous 2023)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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.

Wine rated (guide 2023) 92/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
Precise, juicy, luscious yet slender and taut, Schimberg pinot gris is endowed with great tension, and quite dazzling on the finish.
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 so accomplished: 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-discover and 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:
Schimberg is a site named after the word "scintillant", or "schimmern" in German, because it captures the last light of evening. It contains volcanic elements of graywacke and clay. The nose of Pinot Gris Schimberg 2020 is subtle and nicely profiled, with lively acidity. It comes from a massal selection with small berries, hence the concentration of acidity. On the finish, there's a lovely roundness of pear that adds to the lemony brightness so unusual for Pinot Gris. Magnifique (dry)
