Direct from the estate - Burg ‘Levignoble Féodal

94+/100 Parker

When to drink this wine : 2030 - 2060

Tasting by Stephan Reinhardt: ‘From Keuper marl soils with gypsum, the 2018 Burg “Le vignoble féodal” offers a pure, flinty but very rich and elegant bouquet of yellow plum (or mirabelle plum) aromas with concentrated but fresh citrus and iodised aromas of crushed plates. Saline and crystalline on the palate, this is a rich Burg that's a little sweet but zesty and grippy, finishing with lemon bitters. It hasn't taken off yet, but it's tight and promising. 12.5% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the estate in May 2022.’

• Presentation : The terroir of the Burg, late and humid, marked by cold lacustrine clays, whose geological characteristics (colored marls of Keuper with rare calcareous intercalations) and climatic characteristics (southern exposure, protected situation set back from the valley) allow each year the birth of a great, powerful, complex and structured wine, with a very long ageing period, marked by the presence of noble rot, from the great traditional Alsatian grape varieties planted.

• Great wine of matter, in the making. Gone for a half-century of cellaring. Great quinine bitterness at the end!

• Garde : Best after 10 years, the potential of guard is very long, 30 years.

• Type : Wine of matter, semi-dry, rich and powerful.

• Terroir : Colored marls of the Keuper, facing south, protected situation, set back from the valley. Rather late cool climate.

• Grape varieties : Complantation of all the Alsatian grape varieties (13 in total).
