Intensely wheat-gold in color, the 2020 Grasberg "La colline où pousse l'herbe" opens with lemon chutney and jelly aromas on the dense and tart nose. Round, elegant and pretty sweet on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, salty and zesty, very mineral and sustainable white with more generosity but less stimulating features compared to the drier 2021. 14% stated alcohol and 60 grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

The 2020 Grasberg is from the plateau of Jurassic limestone of the Altenberg, sloping slightly north at 350m, a late-ripening site. The field blend is Riesling and Gewurztraminer, fermented and aged in foudre. The nose has golden, juicy glints of peach compote edged with lemon. It has the inherent coolness of limestone and vivid freshness, but there is a kiss of honeyed botrytis without it masking the fresh fruit, lending a subtle sweetness (35g/L), rounded and peachy. (Medium) - By Anne Krebiehl MW on February 2023

Located on the "GRASBERG", at an altitude of 340 m with a North-East exposure at the top of the Grand Cru "Altenberg de Bergheim" which rests on the poor limestone of the Grande Oolithe. The thinness of the soil leads the vine to plunge deep into the subsoil in search of energy giving a very complex and long wine, marked by the poor limestones of the Grande Oolithe where the vine must deeply search for the ultimate Energy of its reproduction. The Grasberg is entirely tense, tight and complex and bears witness to this initiatory quest.

Exotic, dense, and luminous semi-dry wine. Nose: explosion of jammy citrus fruits and fresh mint leaves. Palate: acid energy of large citrus fruits. Length, smoother finish but with an unusual vitality.
