Lively, delicate and aromatic: a majestic Riesling produced by none other than the Grand Master of the Rhône Valley, Michel Chapoutier!  More info

This noble Alsatian Riesling is grown on blue schist soil and the grapes undergo a relatively long pressing before fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The domaine then favours a partial malolactic fermentation before maturing for 10 months in large casks on fine lees. You find prune, mint and ripe citrus fruit (lemon, orange and grapefruit) notes on the nose, preceding a lively palate with a chiselled minerality and impeccably sustained finish.

Riesling Lieu-dit Berg Schieferkopf - Chapoutier serve at a temperature of 10°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Saumon fumé, Charlotte aux pêches, Gâteau alsacien au fromage blanc.

Peak: Drink until 2032

    Information about domain Schieferkopf - Chapoutier

    As hard as it is to believe, the great Rhône master, Michel Chapoutier, has set his sights on Alsace. Passionate about the mineral, terroir-driven wines produced in the Rhine with their distinct regional varieties, he and four fellow Rhin loving friends acquired this domaine in 2009. Their first biodynamic vintage entered the Alsatian winemaking history books in 2011, bearing the name Schieferkopf.
