Information
Domain Marc Kreydenweiss is a family affair: it was originally created by Marc Kreydenweiss, who then passed the reins over to his son Antoine, seconded by his wife Charlotte and daughters Zoé, Lilou and Léonie. At the foothills of the Vosges, the estate has a wide variety of soils, spans 13.5 hectares and owns four Grands Crus. The vineyard has been farmed biodynamically since 1999 and natural vinifications allow the terroir to shine through in all its typicity and character. We particularly appreciate their refined, concentrated wines which are energized by a nice acidity.
The Gewurztraminer vines, averaging some forty years, grow at an altitude of over 200 metres. The ferruginous-clay and stony soils, rich in quartz, impart all the necessary energy to the vines and the typical character of the cuvée. With the conviction that fine winemaking begins in the vineyard, the estate cultivates its parcels of Gewurztraminer according to biodynamic principles. In the winery, the late-harvested grapes are pressed slowly in whole bunches. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are triggered spontaneously by native yeasts. Lastly, the cuvée is aged in large capacity oak barrels (in excess of 1,000 litres) for several months before being bottled.
The golden colour reveals a delicate nose characterised by elegant aromas of litchi and rose. Rich and fresh in the mouth, this wine offers remarkable fullness and roundness, leading to a slightly saline finish. This cuvée promises several good years of cellaring.
