Still very youthful, with a complex interplay of herbal notes (sage, thyme and rosemary) with ripe yet restrained mirabelle fruit. Enormous power on the full-bodied palate, but not in a demonstrative way, rather this still feels youthful and reserved. Just a hint of natural grape sweetness on the mid-palate, but then emphatically dry and self-confidently tannic on the very long, profoundly mineral finish. From organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification. Drink or hold. ... More details

From Keuper marl soils with gypsum, the 2018 Burg "Le vignoble féodal" offers a pure and flinty yet very rich and elegant bouquet of yellow plums (or mirabelle) aromas with concentrated but fresh citrus fruit and iodine aromas of crushed plates. Saline and crystalline on the palate, this is a rich and a bit sweet but piquant and grippy-finishing Burg with lemon bitters. Not yet flying but tight and promising. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022.
Winery
Semi-dry wine; powerful and elegant; reserved and charming, fruity and mineral, a wine like an oxymoron. Mouthfeel: rather cold wine, broad and long in the mouth, but above all very thick, full, invasive. Extremely dense. Pulpy dimension of grape juice. However, the mouth feel is acidic, tartaric, ribbed, with a firm, almost rough side, which dries the mouth on iodine, graphite, carbon.

Region: Alsace

Alsace is a particularly fascinating region of France when it comes to wine and wine culture. The long, slender Germanic style bottles we often see coming out of Alsatian wineries have become iconic of the region's wine industry, and for centuries, such bottles have been the favorites of the crowned heads of Europe. Riesling and Gewurztraminer have always been the two primary grapes of Alsace, however, there are nine different varietals permitted by French law, most of them being used to make white wine. Alsace produces over a hundred million liters of wine per year, which are exported across the globe and enjoyed by people seeking a fine wine offering something a little different. As such, Alsace is an important global wine producing region, with a character and set of flavors and features which are all its own.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
