Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the domain :
Since 2007, Marc Kreydenweiss's son Antoine has been at the helm of this estate in Andlau, one of the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Alsace. The variety of the estate's terroirs and their subtle interpretation has always been a strong point here, reinforced by the changes implemented by Antoine (slower pressing and longer ageing on lees). The risks taken by vinifying a number of cuvées without sulfur (or with minimal levels) have paid off, and do not give rise to the slightest defect. A small range of organic grape purchases is launched under the name Lune à Boire. Pinot noir and maceration wines (not rated) are at the highest level. The standards have been raised to the highest level, with wines of rare vitality, and continue to deepen, with ambitious four-year maturation of the 2017 Riesling Grand Cru. These exciting wines, with their rare vitality, have earned the domaine its third star this year.
