Schlossberg Grand Cru 2021 - Marcel Deiss

Order wine  : Schlossberg Grand Cru 2021 - Marcel Deiss

Domaine Marcel Deiss - Grand Cru d'Alsace

- Garde : Can be kept in the cellar for years.

- Tasting : Nose of great depth, an unknown white fruit, maybe quince on the tree, some seaweed, the sea. A very fleeting cinnamon. The picture is complex, it's more a mixed aromatic bouquet than distinct aromas. Intriguing. The mental landscape hesitates at first, between hot and cold. But already points the extreme sobriety of the whole, the mineral dimension, cold, granular, monolithic, tight.

In the mouth, one is struck by an immediate, explosive salivation. Salty, to the point of excess, as strong as the first cup of sea water drunk. Forcing you to swallow and start again. The attack is narrow, tight, rough and uncomfortable, but of such intensity that it brings back the fear of emptiness, a bivouac hung on the north face, a new and risky way. A chiseled acidity, so little visible matter and yet such an uppercut to the face: the absence of a manifest body, of a thickness and yet this thundering presence. Salty and sharp. It is all the magic of granite, the extreme mineral stripping, cold and sharp. A great wine that is somewhat inexplicable when one has seen the vine suffer and be so thirsty before the harvest. Mystery of the terroir and of the plant at the end of the road!
