The Edelzwicker
Wine resulting from the harmonious blending of several white wines. It is mainly composed of Chasselas, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc and sometimes Gewurztraminer.
It’s a light and pleasant ordinary wine, which will match with starters: salads, pork-butcheries, eggs, quiches, soufflés, roast poultries…
The Chasselas
The history of the Chasselas gives place to controversies, but it is supposed that this grape variety is one of oldest cultivated by the man. Alsace, with Switzerland, Savoy, Nievre and the country of Bade in Germany are about the only areas in the world to vinify it.
Quite neutral, it is particularly sensitive to the soil where it grows, that’s why they are differences from one area to another.
This pleasant and deliciously juicy dessert grapes, represents however less than 1% of plantings in Alsace. Only 14 wine farms propose this grape variety as AOC. For the remaining people, it enters generally the composition of Edelzwicker.
Chasselas is a light wine, fresh and delicately fruity. It matches on the starters, the fish, the melted cheese, or for aperitifs with blackcurrant liqueur.
The Sylvaner
The Sylvaner, originating from the basin of the Danube, is rather widespread in the quite exposed soils where it matures later that Chasselas, by producing wines of a remarkable freshness; dry, light and discretely fruity, they have a good acidity.
This wine matches with the majority of the dish and is appreciated more particularly with the soufflés, the terrines, the pork-butcheries or the roasted fish and the seafood. In our range, you can fine it as wine of First Selection and Reserve wine.
The Pinot Blanc
It is composed of the blending of the grape varieties Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois (40/60), for a balanced wine, supple, and light.
Its fine savour matches everywhere where the use of a white wine is essential. It can be served with the pies, quiches, meat pies and onion tarts. You can fine it as wine of First Selection and Reserve wine.
The Riesling
It is the triumph of the Alsatian terroir. Recognized like one of the best white grape variety in the world, it is a gastronomic wine. It indistinctly spices up the most refined dish. Dry and racey, delicately fruity, it offers a bouquet of a large smoothness with sometimes mineral or floral nuances. By aging, it acquires flavours of “oil”.
There are several versions of this wine: First Selection and Reserve wine (Cuvee du Roi Clovis). It is also one of the noble grape varieties deserving the appellation Alsace Grand Cru and the mentions Late-harvest and Selection of Noble Grains.
The Muscat of Alsace
The Muscat of Alsace is distinguished from southernmost soft Muscat by its dry and fruity character which gives the feeling to crunch fresh grapes.
It constitutes a marvellous aperitif and matches asparaguses perfectly or can be discovered with Chinese kitchen.
There are two varieties of Muscat: the Muscat Ottonel, which has an early maturity and Muscat of Alsace, which has a latest maturity. Both Muscat are often vinified together.
The Pinot Gris
Tokay Pinot Gris would have been brought back from Hungary by Lazare de Schwendi, after his victory in Tokay over Turkish in 1565. However, no grape variety seems to look like it today in Hungary.
In the years 1970, Alsatians had as a practice to call it simply Tokay. In the middle of the 1980’s, upon an agreement with Hungarian, Alsatians reproduced on their labels Tokay Pinot Gris, instead of Tokay.
From April 2007, these labels will only have the Pinot Gris, the name of Tokay from now on being reserved exclusively to Hungarian grape variety.
Pinot Gris is an opulent, heady and full-bodied wine. It likes the good flesh and the foie gras. It is an aperitif of great class.
There are several versions of this wine: First Selection and Reserve wine (Cuvee de la Reine Clotilde). It is also one of the noble grape varieties deserving the appellation Alsace Grand Cru and the mentions Late-harvest and Selection of Noble Grains.
The Gewurztraminer
Gewûrz means spiced in German. It is the principal characteristic of Gewurztraminer. Traminer means “coming from Tramin”, a small village of the south of the Tyrol in Austria, from where the grape variety is coming from.
Gewurztraminer is a racey, vigorous and well-structured wine, with an elegant bouquet which enveloped the nose and a velvety roundness which fills the mouth.
Wine of aperitif, reception and dessert, to discover with cheese in particular the Munster cheese. It finds a new place in the exotic kitchen.
There are several versions of this wine: First Selection and Reserve wine (Cuvee St Remy). It is also one of the noble grape varieties deserving the appellation Alsace Grand Cru and the mentions Late-harvest and Selection of Noble Grains.
The Pinot Noir
It is the only red wine of Alsace. It can be of red or rosy coloured. Its fruity is delicate, with red fruit notes.
