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

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.
