Presentation
The vintage
This vintage was marked by significant variability across the Alsatian vineyard. In Hunawihr and Ribeauvillé, our heavy, clay-rich terroirs proved to be an asset. The dry, sunny climate, combined with good vine development, resulted in a fine harvest. August rains facilitated grape ripening, preventing any delays. The harvest was of high quality, with healthy, concentrated grapes. It began on September 5th and ended on October 6th under a blue sky and summer-like warmth.
