“Harvested on September 29 (eight days after Kitterlé), the 2015 Riesling Grand Cru Saering Cuvée Cécile is clear and pure, yet rich and intense on the nose, with flinty and stony notes. [...] The wine is incredibly young, yet extremely concentrated and elegant, displaying a very spicy acidity with good structure and grapefruit notes on the finish. I wouldn’t serve it for at least ten years.” (Wine Advocate 2017) A pure and subtle Riesling.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 15.5/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Made from grapes selected from a less botrytized harvest than the VT from the same terroir. Largely semi-dry yet well-balanced with lovely acidity; it can be enjoyed as an aperitif or cellared for a long time. It’s a very interesting wine, but one that’s best left to age. Its flavor will continue to develop.

About the estate:

An iconic Bergholtz estate for two generations now. The 18 hectares cultivated using biodynamic methods are the result of the partnership between Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. Within the lineup, the fine terroirs of Saering, Kitterlé, Kessler, and especially Spiegel offer great aging potential, allowing the slight residual sugars to integrate fully.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 92+/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

Harvested on September 29 (eight days after Kitterlé), the 2015 Riesling Grand Cru Saering Cuvée Cécile is clear and pure, yet rich and intense on the nose, with flinty and stony notes. This full-bodied Riesling, with 13.8% alcohol, has not completed fermentation and stopped at 40 grams of residual sugar, making it moderately sweet. The wine is incredibly young, yet extremely concentrated and elegant, displaying a very spicy acidity with good structure and grapefruit flavors on the finish. I wouldn’t serve it for at least ten years.

Rated estate (2025 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the estate:

Jean Dirler and his wife Ludivine, sensitive and seasoned winemakers, skillfully steer this estate founded in 1871, which has been passed down from father to son for five generations and has been cultivated biodynamically since 1998. Regardless of the grape variety, the precision of the wines, their body, and their ripeness have never been more refined: an impressive range of great dry white wines culminates in the magnificent expressions of the Spiegel, Saering, Kessler, and Kitterlé grands crus—which are an absolute must-try—and which are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth, water). This estate offers a remarkable welcome, and many wines are available in older vintages. The exceptional quality of the entire range in the most recent vintages has earned it its third star this year.
