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 has to be one of the most fascinating regions of France, with a history which stretches back millennia, and demonstrates perfectly the kind of blended culture that can arise from being located on the border between two enormously important, yet very different countries. Indeed, being on the border between France and Germany has resulted in Alsatian wines being something of a mix between the wines of these two countries. Riesling varietal grapes are grown in enormous quantities here, and display all of their crisp, dry complexity perfectly in the famous wines of Alsace. Alongside this typically Germanic wine, Alsatian vintners also produce plenty of Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Sauvignon Vert wines, all of which are superb when it comes to expressing the finer features of the wonderful Alsatian terroir.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
