"The Sylvaner has great volume and intensity of flavor (RVF)".
40% de ces Vieilles Vignes proviennent du Grand Cru Kessler, au cœur de la mythique Heisse Wanne. Un Sylvaner très élégant au nez, sur des notes de fleurs blanches, d'aubépine et de pamplemousse. Une belle personnalité : la bouche est profonde, avec un beau gras et un équilibre maîtrisé. Un vin pur qui sera parfait sur des huîtres et fruits de mer, ou en apéritif. À déboucher sans attendre !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté (guide 2025) 93/100
Rated domain (2023 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard 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.

Vin noté (guide 2025) 92/100
Rated domain (guide 2025) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of French winegrowing. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)
About the wine :
Tonic and nervous, Sylvaner has great volume and intensity of flavor, right through to its incisive 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 wines' precision, 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 are a must-discover and are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth, water). This house offers an outstanding welcome, and many wines are available in older vintages. The exceptional quality of the entire range in recent vintages has earned the house its third star this year.
