This Grand Cru terroir gives very precise, fresh and full-bodied wines.
These wines are fairly vigorous with their concentration, density and structure. Their acidic and tonic exuberance is expressed in a generous and pure body. The initial mouthfeel gives a small sensation of dryness (due to limestone), and a mineral intensity in the length.
Muscat simultaneously gives an immediate and mesmerising fruity and floral pleasure.
Riesling and Pinot Gris capitalise on the typical chiselled substance of this Grand Cru, substance which provides citrus fruit notes like mandarin, blood orange or kumquat. Gewurztraminer reveals savours of litchi and all expressions of rose (fresh, dried, withered).
With each grape variety, the intense and marine minerality of this cru has a delicate length.
