he Muenchberg terroir faces South, hugging the slopes of a crescent-shaped plot so as to gain maximum benefit from its exposure to the sun. This location means it has a unique micro-climate. The soil and subsoil are composed of 250 million year old sediments. The soil is poor and made up of sandstone and volcanic sediments, but its drainage is excellent and the soil is very quick to warm up. Since this is not very fertile land, it is extremely well-suited to Riesling. 

Golden yellow colour. Mineral, fruity, elegant nose.  On the palate, this comes across as a traditional ‘terroir’ wine, austere, powerful, still young. The fruit character is a little masked by a touch of liveliness. This is a wine to be cellared for the time being. Guide Gilbert et Gaillard 2008

Located in the municipalities of Bennwihr and Sigolsheim, near to Colmar, this limestone-marl terroir composed mainly of oolitic limestone is ideal for Gewurztraminer.

Well-structured, robust wine with plenty of body and complex aromas of spices, exotic fruits, flowers and roses.  Wonderfully balanced on the palate, yet retaining a fresh, saline finish. Ideal as an apéritif, with foie gras, strong cheeses (blue-veined cheeses, munster, maroilles) as well as with certain desserts. It may easily be kept for a few years, which will ensure the full extent of its mineral character appears.

Le terroir du Muenchberg, orienté au sud, épouse les courbes d'un croissant pour mieux accueillir le soleil lui conférant par la même occasion un micro-climat unique. Le sol et le sous-sol sont formés de sédiments vieux de 250 millions d'années. Son sol est pauvre et composé de grès et de sédiments volcaniques, mais avec un drainage excellent et un réchauffement rapide et comme la fertilité y est faible, le Riesling y trouve un terroir de prédilection.
