  • L'oeil
    Yellow, slightly golden, with a nice shine.
  • Le nez
    Aromas of citrus fruits and honey. Nice and fresh.
  • La bouche
    Lots of character. We rediscover aromas of honey and beeswax. Beautiful persistence of a quite fat fruitiness, due to the terroir.

Description

 

 

Terroir

It comes from a calcareous, silty and clayey soil, which allows the deep rooting of the vine, older than thirty years old.

The south-western facing, on platforms on the hillside, provides an ideal sun exposure.

Pairing

It is a perfect accompaniment to the most refined dishes: fish, shellfish, white meat, etc…

Service

Serve between 8 and 10 °C

Ageing

Up to 8 years

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked and then pressed.
After fermentation under temperature control, this wine was selected during a rigorous tasting to be admitted to the Cave des Hospices de Strasbourg.
It was matured for 8 months in oak barrels, then tasted a second time, to obtain the privilege of being bottled at the Hospices, after several months of tireless efforts for an irreproachable quality.
