Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Biodynamic viticulture always takes a few years to take effect, both in terms of rooting and soil life, and Michel Chapoutier is well aware of this, having bought this estate in 2009 with a few wine-loving friends. Located in northern Alsace, on a vein of blue schist, the estate is gradually making its mark. The Riesling parcels (Burg, Buehl and Fels) are beginning to bring out the subtle nuances of the soil.
