This Cheverny from Domaine de Montcy is a fresh, cheerful organic dry white made from Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes. Ideal as an aperitif or with seafood.

La complantation is a superb white produced by the domaine Marcel Deiss. Elegant and fruity, it will be ideal as an aperitif or with a nice fish. This organic wine is made from a blend of 13 grape varieties: riesling, pinot and gewurztraminer combine with outstanding harmony and elegance. Superb!

Les Brumes du Château Les Hauts de Caillevel has a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. This organic Monbazillac develops fruity aromas of peach and apricot with exotic notes of pineapple. On the palate, this Monbazillac provides sensations of candied fruit with a touch of honey.

The Pinot Noir Les Rocailles 2023 is the great red cuvée from Domaine Paul Ginglinger - a parcel selection from vines in direct contact with the marl-sandstone bedrock of the Mittlerer Eich locality, in the heart of the Grand Cru Eichberg in Eguisheim. Small, concentrated berries, rich in color and fine tannins, hand-harvested, partially destemmed, vatted for 2 to 3 weeks, certified organic. Full-bodied, racy red with great finesse and freshness. Goes well with game, lamb and rib of beef.

This gewurztraminer Wahlenbourg du domaine Ginglinger is a blend of different parcels from the Felsacker, Sundgass and Hissererweg lieux-dits, three predominantly limestone terroirs imprinting a particularly fruity, lively and sapid style on the gewurztraminer. Invariably, our Walhenbourg cuvée is a gourmet gewurztraminer, playing on finesse and elegance. We loved the superb integration of residual sugar in this Alsatian white.

The Pinot Blanc du domaine Ginglinger is a complex blend of different parcels of pinot blanc and pinot auxerrois from various Eguisheim lieux-dits: Langrod, Bachtal, Klein Krumling, Lang Striebicher and Bodenacker. The golden auxerrois grapes give the wine a frank, pronounced fruitiness and fullness on the palate, while the pinot blanc adds freshness, liveliness and a hint of citrus. The bouquet of this pinot blanc is pure and spring-like, blending pear, lemon, fresh hazelnut, vanilla and white flowers. The balance on the palate is dry, articulated around suave, crisp flesh and invigorating freshness. A great charmer that goes well with a wide range of dishes.

The cuvée Drei Exa from Domaine Ginglinger refers to its village of origin, Eguisheim (Exa) and the three castles overlooking the village. Riesling Drei Exa is a blend of very fine, predominantly limestone-sandstone parcels adjoining Grand Cru Pfersigberg in the Wettolsheimerweg, Dreistein and Sundgass districts. This dry Riesling is characterized above all by its finesse and elegance. The bouquet offers a delicate fruitiness that asserts itself with age. The balance on the palate is long-lined, characteristic of great terroirs with predominantly limestone.

RVF: "Drei Exa is a fine reference for lovers of dry Riesling"
