Tasting Notes
This is a very small vineyard high in the hills, on pure blue slate of Villé. The Reisling and Pinot Gris vines are co-planted as was previously traditional in Alsace. Co-harvested, pressed and co-fermented until dry, then aged in very large fourdres for 18 months. Blue slate rips down the palate, but aromatically there is plenty of white nectarine and floral notes, then fistfuls of stoney minerality. - Importer Note
Marc Kreydenweiss inherited his family's vineyards in Andlau in Alsace in 1971. He then became one of the precursors to Biodynamic viticulture during the 1980's. With a flourishing set of vineyards and exceptional quality wines, and an equally flourishing family of willing sons, Marc decided to leave the Alsace vineyards and build a vineyard in the Southern Rhone, in the Costières de Nîmes appellation. - Importer Note
